Samba PDC and Domain Memeber
hi there,
i was just wondering if the same machine that is being run as a Samba domain controller can join the domain it is creating? because when i try to add it using 'net join' command i get this [2005/09/18 21:56:50, 0] utils/net_ads.c:ads_startup(191) ads_connect: Transport endpoint is not connected Creation of workstation account failed Unable to join domain WINDOWS. here is my smb.conf file #=============[Gobal============= [global] load printers = yes domain logons = yes os level = 65 security = ads preferred master = yes workgroup = Windows logon script = %G\%G.bat logon drive = H: logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U\ logon home = \\%L\%U domain master = yes printing = cups netbios name = home local master = yes realm = WINDOWS encrypt passwords = yes username map = /etc/samba/smbusers winbind uid = 10000-20000 winbind gid = 10000-20000 winbind use default domain = yes winbind enum users = yes winbind enum groups = yes #=============[Share]=============# [netlogon] comment = The domain logon service path = /etc/samba/netlogon public = no browseable = no writeable = no [profiles] comment = user profiles path = /etc/samba/profiles create mode = 0600 directory mode = 0700 writeable = yes browseable = yes [homes] read only = no browsable = no path = /home/%U writeable = yes comment = User Home Drives [root] path = / browseable = no read only = no [cd-rom] path = /media/cdrom browseable = yes read only = yes comment = CD-ROM on Samba and here is my /etc/krb5.conf file [libdefaults] default_realm = WINDOWS [realms] [libdefaults] default_realm = WINDOWS [realms] WINDOWS = { kdc = fedora default_domain = WINDOWS kpasswd_server = fedora admin_server = fedora } [domain_realm] .fedora = WINDOWS |
the nature of Windows NT is that there is no "member servers". You only get Primary Domain Controllers and Backup Domain controllers. If your samba server is a PDC (which holds the Security Accounts Manager) for all Windows NT domain hosts, then I imagine that trying to have it join the same domain that it is the PDC for will fail. maybe I read that sentence wrong and someone else will have a better answer, or if you could clarify what you meant by that.
