![]() Oops maybe “need” wasn’t the correct term =). ![]() Can you type “smbclient -L localhost -U%” and see your shares without having to start Samba from the command prompt after boot? Just tried again and it tells me already exist. It is also possible to use windows based tools to manage the domain.ĭownload RSAT from the link below and follow the instructions to get it installed. Manage the Domain from a Windows 7 PC using Windows Remote Administration Tools So I can transfer any existing user accounts into domain accounts faster. Then restart your server and make sure samba is running sudo rebootĪdd a user to Samba 4 sudo /usr/local/samba/bin/samba-tool user add USERNAME Next we add this script to the startup routine sudo update-rc.d samba defaults 98 02 ![]() ![]() Place this file in the /etc/init.d/ folder and run the following to make it executable sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/samba We need to make Samba 4 start when the system boots up.įirst we need an upstart script to handle starting and stopping Samba.Īttached here also samba.txt(right click to save this and rename from samba.txt to samba) We can do this two ways: Either through the router so it’ll be set for all PCs automatically or on each individual PC through the adapter settings. We do have to configure our client to use this dns server as it’s primary dns server. By not specifying one during setup, the internal dns server is configured for us. With this default setup there is no need to configure an external dns server, although one can be configured if required. The system will then generate the domain and the associated files. Press enter to use default or enter your preferred dns serverįinally we set the admin password for the domain (make sure this is a complex password or you might have issues adding users later-thanks to James for this tip) Administrator Password: enter your password here It defaulted to my router IP address and this should work for most people. Here we set the dns forwarder for web addresses the dns server cannot resolve. : press enter to select the default internal We’ll select the built in dns server to keep things simple DNS backend (SAMBA_INTERNAL, BIND9_FLATFILE, BIND9_DLZ, NONE) Next up is the dns server you want to use. Press enter to accept the default or enter an alternative Next it prompts for the short domain name Domain : We can use mydomain.local for this (replace mydomain with the name of your domain) Realm: mydomain.local Once this completes we can start configuring our Samba 4 Active Directory domain sudo /usr/local/samba/bin/samba-tool domain provision wget tar -zxvf samba-4.0.0.tar.gzĬhange into the extracted folder cd samba-4.0.0 Next we download the source file (head to to check what the latest version is and change file name below) and extract it. sudo apt-get install gcc python2.7-dev make libacl1-dev python We need a few extras installed before we can build Samba 4. ![]() I installed Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS and installed all of the latest updates and the latest kernel (3.2.0-35-generic). Samba 4 is the first version of Samba that have full Active Directory support and will allow newer versions of Windows (7 and 8) to join the domain without any registry hacks. This tutorial will guide you through setting up a Samba 4 Domain Controller using Active Directory on Ubuntu Server 12.04. ![]()
