[Samba] Samba AD - Different IP than the existing one assigned

[Lionel Monchecourt]

Hi, Thanks for helping.

Log.smbd :

[2020/02/24 10:02:22.602083,  0] ../source3/smbd/server.c:1815(main)

  server role = 'active directory domain controller' not compatible with running smbd standalone.

  You should start 'samba' instead, and it will control starting smbd if required

Really big hint there, you are not starting 'samba-ad-dc', you seem to be starting the individual Samba binaries
> This is what I’m starting : 

 service samba-ad-dc start

Nothing is running on port 53 :

There wouldn't be, the 'samba' binary isn't starting.



Now, when I performed a check for the adc1, I get an answer BUT ,the IP is

not the one of the machine

 

A DC should have a fixed IP and that is what Samba should use.

 

yes ok : 172.31.6.15

 

 

Do you have more than one ethernet device ?

 

Yes , here are the different devices, but none is matching this strange IP

This is strange, but possibly related to the DC not running.



What OS is this ?

 

Ubuntun 18.04

Can you post the contents of the following files:

 

/etc/resolv.conf

 

search transmitcorp.com

 

nameserver 127.0.0.1

 

options edns0

Do not use '127.0.0.1', use the computers ipaddress
> ok , changed it to l72.31.6.15

/etc/hostname

 

127.0.0.1 localhost php7.localhost adc1

 

120.0.0.1 php7.localhost

 

172.31.6.15 adc1

No, /etc/hostname should just contain the computers short hostname 'adc1'
> yes, bad copy/paste sorry 

root at TransmitCorp/etc/samba# more /etc/hostname

adc1

 

/etc/hosts

 

search transmitcorp.com

 

nameserver 127.0.0.1

 

options edns0


Have you mixed up your files ? I would have expected /etc/hosts to look like this:

127.0.0.1 localhost

172.31.6.15 adc1.transmitcorp.com adc1

 

Yes sorry, 

/etc/hosts 

 

127.0.0.1 localhost php7.localhost adc1

120.0.0.1 php7.localhost

172.31.6.15 adc1

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts

::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback

fe00::0 ip6-localnet

ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix

ff02::1 ip6-allnodes

ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
