What am I doing wrong!!! Argh!!!
I’m trying to get an Ubuntu 14.04 server running Samba as domain controller.
Setup is a VM (10.0.0.1, samba.test.local) running a fresh & basic installation of Ubuntu 14.04.
After the installation is complete I did
apt-get update apt-get upgrade apt-get dist-upgrade rebootThen the following packages have been installed via apt-get set up
openssh-server
openssh-client
ntp
bind9
dnsutils
acl
attr
samba
winbind
smbclient
NTP setup and time in sync.
BIND9 setup to provide dns resolution for test.local domain as it’s a test network.Changed the FSTAB file to the following
LABEL=cloudimg-rootfs / ext4 user_xattr,acl,barrier=1,errors=remount-ro,relatime 0 0Now here’s where it goes pear shaped.
First of all I stop samba, smbd, nmbd and samba-ad-dc
Then I do the following
rm -rf /etc/samba rm -rf /var/lib/samba/private/* rm -rf /var/lib/samba/sysvol/* samba-tool domain provision --domain=TEST --adminpass="Password1" --dns-backend= SAMBA_INTERNAL --server-role=dc --function-level=2008_R2 --use-xattr=yes --use-rfc2307 --realm=ad.test.local --host-name=samba.text.local Looking up IPv4 addresses More than one IPv4 address found. Using 10.0.2.15 <<-- Not sure where it gets this address as is not bound anywhere. Looking up IPv6 addresses No IPv6 address will be assigned Setting up share.ldb Setting up secrets.ldb Setting up the registry Setting up the privileges database Setting up idmap db Setting up SAM db Setting up sam.ldb partitions and settings Setting up sam.ldb rootDSE Pre-loading the Samba 4 and AD schema Adding DomainDN: DC=ad,DC=test,DC=local Adding configuration container Setting up sam.ldb schema Setting up sam.ldb configuration data Setting up display specifiers Modifying display specifiers Adding users container Modifying users container Adding computers container Modifying computers container Setting up sam.ldb data Setting up well known security principals Setting up sam.ldb users and groups Setting up self join Adding DNS accounts Creating CN=MicrosoftDNS,CN=System,DC=ad,DC=test,DC=local Creating DomainDnsZones and ForestDnsZones partitions Populating DomainDnsZones and ForestDnsZones partitions Setting up sam.ldb rootDSE marking as synchronized Fixing provision GUIDs A Kerberos configuration suitable for Samba 4 has been generated at /var/lib/samba/private/krb5.conf Setting up fake yp server settings Once the above files are installed, your Samba4 server will be ready to use Server Role: active directory domain controller Hostname: samba.test.local NetBIOS Domain: TEST DNS Domain: ad.test.local DOMAIN SID: S-1-5-21-3934883758-3531211222-3658496477Now when I do a smbclient -L localhost -U% I get the following error.
session setup failed: NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUNDWhat am I missing?
What else do I need to configure.
I was following the guide at this location (http://blogging.dragon.org.uk/samba4-ad-dc-on-ubuntu-14-04/) but now I’m stuck.
Answer
(This is really more like a comment, but it’s too long…)
To set up Samba4, don’t follow random guides, stick to the Samba Wiki, specifically: “Set up a Samba Active Directory Domain Controller.”
When you’re using Samba as an AD DC, your first step in troubleshooting is to make sure DNS is working properly.
Your comment Not sure where it gets this address as is not bound anywhere. is an indication that your DNS configuration isn’t correct. Make sure your DC’s host name resolves correctly to its IP.
It’s not the cause of this particular error, but using .local as a domain name is a bad idea, against everyone’s best practices… Use a subdomain of a domain you own.
Finally, you have a typo in your provision command: the realm and host name don’t match.
