Hello,

I am encountering an issue while attempting to configure a minimal Samba file server with Windows ACL support in a containerized environment.

Environment:
Container runtime: Podman 5.4.0
Base image: docker.io/library/debian:trixie-slim (Debian Trixie)
Samba version: 4.22.0

Configurations:
1. Join the domain using: samba-tool domain join mydomain.com MEMBER -U Administrator

2. /etc/samba/smb.conf:
# Global parameters
[global]
realm = MYDOMAIN.COM
server role = member server
workgroup = MYDOMAIN
idmap config * : backend = autorid
idmap config * : rangesize = 10000
idmap config * : range = 10000-59999
vfs objects = acl_xattr
map acl inherit = yes
[users]
path = /share/users
read only = no

3. Tried both:
# chown root:"MYDOMAIN\Domain Admins" /share/users
# chown "MYDOMAIN\Administrator":"MYDOMAIN\Domain Admins" /share/users

Despite successful file read/write operations, permission changes on Windows fail with the error: "Failed to Enumerate Objects in the Container. Access is denied."

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
