[Samba] domain authentication issue after rebooting Debian Jessie - need to restart samba each time

[L.P.H. van Belle]

Hai, 

If not, well, very stange, i have about 7 Jessie's here with samba and 
i dont have any problems.
I think systemd is blocking your startup of samba due to multple errors on startups previously. 

Few questions? 

Do you have samba with shares over nfs? 
If so, create te following folder : 
/etc/systemd/system/nfs-common.service.d/ 

Add the following file with content to the file : remote-fs-pre.conf
[Unit]
Before=remote-fs-pre.target
Wants=remote-fs-pre.target


What is the output of ? 
systemctl status samba-ad-dc 

if its masked..  then type :'
systemctl unmask samba-ad-dc
and 
systemctl restart samba-ad-dc

reboot and see if its all started. 



Greetz, 

Louis
