Before attempting to join domain members with my newly provisioned AD/DC, there
are some difference between this new smb.conf and the one from the current DC
running Samba 4.8.2. Please advise if I need any of these:
[global]
server services = s3fs, rpc, nbt, wrepl, ldap, cldap, kdc, drepl,winbind, ntp_signd, kcc, dnsupdate
ntlm auth = yes
winbind use default domain = yes
template shell = /bin/bash
log level = 2 passdb:5 auth:10 winbind:2 lanman:10
load printers = no
printing = bsd
printcap name = /dev/null
disable spoolss = yes
[Users]
path = /redirectedFolders/Users
comment = user folders for redirection
read only = No
[share]
path = /var/lib/samba/share
comment = Shared folder
read only = No
Note that the old/current DC was provisioned with BIND9_FLATFILE whereas the new
one uses Samba Internal DNS backend.
The old/current DC utilized redirected folders as a Windows Group Policy which
kept certain workstation folders (Desktop, Documents, Picutures, Favorites, etc.)
on the DC, not on the Workstation. I expect to be able to do the same with the
new version Samba DC (4.18.8).
I don't know if passdb, auth, windbind, lanman logging works with the new DC,
and maybe I don't need any of these unless there is a problem.
The 'load printers' bit was just to disable printing from the DC.
I don't know what [share] was used for and perhaps that is not needed.
My entire current samba-tool provision generated smb.conf is:
[global]
dns forwarder = 209.18.47.61
netbios name = DC1
realm = HPRS.LOCL
server role = active directory domain controller
workgroup = HPRS
idmap_ldb:use rfc2307 = yes
interfaces = lo, eth1
bind interfaces only = Yes
load printers = no
printing = bsd
printcap name = /dev/null
disable spoolss = yes
[sysvol]
path = /var/lib/samba/sysvol
read only = No
[netlogon]
path = /var/lib/samba/sysvol/hprs.locl/scripts
read only = No
As mentioned, I plan on adding [Users]
Thought?
