Existing Samba 4 network trying to added a new Windows 10 workstation.
Getting the "specified domain does not exists or could not be
contacted" error.
Samba: Version 4.1.9-Zentyal
Samba as Primary Domain Controller - simple file sharing
Server name: APPSERVER1.local
Domain Name: LINGROUP
Win 10 updated to all latest. SMB1 added in Windows Features
Ipconfig on workstation looks correct (same server is DNS and DHCP
server) except "DNS SUFFIX Serach List" does not included the domain
"LINGROUP". (Not sure if that only happens after joining domain or not.)
I can manually browse to the server in Explorer and see the server
shares and user's home folder (browse to \\APPSERVER1) but the server
does not show up in the network neighborhood. Some, but not all, of the
workstations do, and one time the backup server showed up but then went
away.
I can ping the server by IP or name APPSERVER or APPSERVER.local (I
realize .local is outdated).
I'm not seeing any DNS issues on the server.
I am NOT an admin but have used Samba in this small office environment
for 15+ years so I know enough to be dangerous. Any advice on where to
start troubleshooting?
