Subject: [Samba]  [HELP] SAMBA as PDC for windows.


Hi guys, well, reason I'm here is because im stuck, I've tried everything but
have come up empty handed every single time, and I really need this
security, and fast. I'm not going to pay a few thousand for windows server
... because this can be done with SAMBA. Here goes. I tried to setup samba
with defaults, went to (on windows) Control Panel -> System -> (TAB)
Computer Name -> Change ... Change domain name to my domain name I setup on
samba .... and I get this error :
[code]
A domain controler for domain X could not be located.
Ensure the domain name is typed correctly.
[/code]
After that I went to a website and got some other configs and I used them :
[code]
[global]
        workgroup = mydomain
        wins support = yes
        printing = cups
        printcap name = cups
        printcap cache time = 750
        cups options = raw
        map to guest = Bad User
        include = /etc/samba/dhcp.conf
        logon path = \%L\profiles\.msprofile
        logon home = \%L\%U\.9xprofile
        logon drive = P:
        domain logons = Yes
        os level = 65
        usershare allow guests = No
        add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd  -c Machine -d /var/lib/nobody -s
/bin/false %m$
        domain logons = Yes
        domain master = Yes
        local master = Yes
        os level = 64
        preferred master = Yes
        security = user
        netbios name = mycomp
        passdb backend = smbpasswd
[/code]

But still I get exactly the same error, now I don't know if I need some
other things setup with this for it to work, I need some help urgently ...
please help ... N.B. On this comp no DHCP or DNS server is setup, for the
sole reason that I have no idea how to do it. I would appreciate the help
... and please be very specific as I have about 2 weeks linux experience
.... I use SUSE 11.1.

Thanx in advance.
Chris.

You may want to read over some of the docs from samba and others. Also, you need DNS or at least DNS records for your domain controller. Read over the docs below before replying with further questions. Setting up a Domain Controller is not a trivial or quick task.
