[Samba] Provisioning AD DC, MS-AD_Schema_2K8_R2_Attributes.txt Not found

[IT Admin]

Wanted to update this thread and mark it as SOLVED, hopefully my notes will
be useful to another user down the road.

My issue was indeed not having the new version of samba in my path, however
I had to add it in two locations other than /etc/profile.d

Appending ":/usr/local/samba/bin:/usr/local/samba/sbin" to the PATH
declaration in /etc/environment and /etc/sudoers allowed me to execute
samba-tool as sudo and provision my domain without errors.

After the install we will add the path to the *bin* and *sbin* directory of

I then had to add an init script to /etc/init.d to start samba at boot and
now I'm good to go.

Thanks for the hints... now to figure out samba_backup
