Originally I tried CentOS 6.5 Samba4 ADDC and all went well. But, all my
other machines are Ubuntu. Have tried a few Debian test installs. As
Debian is (was) the parent for Ubuntu, I like it better than CentOS as
an alternate OS. And I know more about how to do this and that in Ubuntu
than CentOS. Not that I am saying anything is wrong with CentOS. I am
just not use to configuring CentOS. (Not an opinion, just a personal
fact.) 

Rowland, based on your suggestion this weekend a Debian Samba4 install
gets built. 

L.P.H. van Belle, based on your suggestion Debian 7.7. I hope there are
some good howtos around. Guess I'll go look, now. (Rowland . . v7.5 . .
v7.7 . . . it's all good!!) 

Thanks both of you. 

(Too many confusing tutorials around for the Ubuntu setups!)

Install debian 7.7 and samba from sernet :-P imo sernet samba is the best on debian. i had problems with samba 4.1.11 from backports when joining an extra DC. i missed some dns entries, should be fixed in the next 4.1.12 or 13 on backports. 4.1.13 is in Debian Jessie, so should not take long anymore..

Well if you are going to be like that about it, travel back in time
about 2 months, install debian 7.5, install samba 4.1.9 from backports
and provision, return to now and update to 4.1.11, all you have to do
now, is wait until 4.1.13 gets into backports :-D :-D

Rowland

PS, I cannot recommend using Ubuntu 14.04.

> This all has to do with an incorrect setup of ubuntu. * not your fault but ubuntu's. The ubuntu installer is just not correct, and i can get the installer to make it fail on every boot, even when the install is 100% correct. You want to try, get a ubuntu server, choose expert install, expert Command line install. choose minimal install, only ssh-server. nothing else. Install your server, at dhcp ip, press cancel, and now you can enter a static ip. resume the install.. and at last, reboot, and you end up like. 1) slow on network configuring, always waiting, and when fully started, no ssh logins are possible. google for it, lots of people experiance this. 2) you have lost your usb keyboard. same here.. google for it. ( a fix i to put the usb hid in modules before grub install ) Well this always happens to me if i install ubuntu server when i want a minimal install. :-(( This since ubuntu 12.10 and up. in 12.04 this worked fine. and this is why i dont like ubuntu, i did report
  this,
but they just wont fix it. When i do exacly the same on a debian install, it works... always. when you use the "standard" ubuntu install you server works fast, but lots extra's is installed which i dont like. so get the resolving correct on you ubuntu and it wil work fine. based on the asumption that you dont run a gui.. and you work from CLI. apt-get remove --purge resolvconf dnsmasq fix /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain ip_server FQDN-server hostnameserver fix /etc/resolv.conf point nameserver to or 127.0.0.1 or the server ip. test hostname -s test hostname -d test hostname -f test hostname -y ( which probely wil fail ) fix 1 , setup nis, found in the list fix 2 , give the kernel the local domain info. see /etc/sysctl.conf #kernel.domainname = example.com reboot and try again. i did the same on my home server ( ubuntu 14.04 with Kodi on it and samba 4 from sernet ) and when setup as it should, the samba installs works fine witout any hassle. When i have t
 he time
i'll make a howto for it. Greetz, Louis

I keep reading and trying to 'get my head' around the various combinations. It seems many tutorials (on Internet) keep contradicting themselves. One author did his/hers this way, that author did his/hers that way, etc. When using Ubuntu 14.04 as the Samba4 ADDC what is the correct settings?
