HOWTO: FIX:

Read Only Microsoft Office Documents

Becuase of the way Microsoft Office saves its documents, you can end up with a situation where the Extended Attributes of the saved file override the Linux permissions, and end up with a 'read only' file when another user tries to open it on the shared drive.

To fix this, you need to set the Linux sticky bit and ACL permissions on the shared directory. 

sudo -i
ll /home/samba/shared/path/to/folder/
find /home/samba/shared/path/to/folder/ -type d -exec chmod 2775 {} \;
find /home/samba/shared/path/to/folder/ -type f -exec chmod 0664 {} \;
setfacl -R -m default:group:users:rwX,g:users:rwX /home/samba/shared/path/to/folder/

Subnet Interface Errors

If you cannot access your samba server, and in the /var/log/samba/log.nmbd you see this error... 

create_subnets: No local IPv4 non-loopback interfaces
create_subnets: Waiting for an interface to appear

...then change your interfaces parameter in /etc/samba/smb.conf to match your actual network interface card. For example...

From: 

interfaces = 192.168.0.0/24 127.0.0.1

To: 

interfaces = 192.168.0.200/24 127.0.0.1

Weird, but it works. :-/

SAMBA4 DC SysVol Replication

https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/SysVol_Replication 

crontab -e

# samba4 dc sysvol replication
@hourly /usr/bin/rsync -XAavz --delete-after --password-file=/usr/local/samba/etc/rsync-sysvol.secret rsync://sysvol-replication@samba.domain.com/SysVol/ /usr/local/samba/var/locks/sysvol/

# samba4 rebuild sysvol and check

02 * * * * samba-tool ntacl sysvolcheck

SAMBA4 Error In DC Replication

If you are getting these errors in your logs... 

[2013/05/31 12:21:57,  0] ../source4/dsdb/repl/drepl_ridalloc.c:43(drepl_new_rid_pool_callback)
 ../source4/dsdb/repl/drepl_ridalloc.c:43: RID Manager failed RID allocation - WERR_BADFILE - extended_ret[0x0]

...and domain replication does not appear to be working, then you have the glibc (at least 2.17) nss dns resolver bug - where the resolver cannot look up names with an _ underscore.

To find your _msdcs_ name, look it up... 

ldbsearch -H /usr/local/samba/private/sam.ldb '(invocationid=*)' --cross-ncs objectguid

To test this, try to ping the _msdcs_ name. You will receive an unknown host error... 

ping 5813325c-fa80-4e0e-b76e-4666f6afe1e2._msdcs.xyz.com

To fix this, first add the _msdcs_ entry to /etc/hosts 

127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain localhost
#127.0.1.1      samba2.xyz.com  samba2
192.168.0.208   5813325c-fa80-4e0e-b76e-4666f6afe1e2._msdcs.xyz.com samba.xyz.com samba
192.168.0.209   f0605966-1d4f-4fef-8a75-2a24863dbaa9._msdcs.xyz.com samba2.xyz.com samba2

Second, make sure you add all the correct CNAME and A record entries in your Samba4 DCs DNS... that is, details of the secondary DC2 to _both_ DCs... 

samba-tool dns add 192.168.0.208 xyz.com samba2 A 192.168.0.209
samba-tool dns add 192.168.0.209 xyz.com samba2 A 192.168.0.209
samba-tool dns add 192.168.0.208 _msdcs.xyz.com f0605966-1d4f-4fef-8a75-2a24863dbaa9 CNAME samba2.xyz.com -UAdministrator
samba-tool dns add 192.168.0.209 _msdcs.xyz.com f0605966-1d4f-4fef-8a75-2a24863dbaa9 CNAME samba2.xyz.com -UAdministrator

Now try to ping the _msdcs_ name. It will work... 

ping 5813325c-fa80-4e0e-b76e-4666f6afe1e2._msdcs.xyz.com

And you will see two-way tcp connections in netstat... 

tcp        0      0 192.168.0.209:1024      192.168.0.208:36814     ESTABLISHED 582/samba       
tcp        0      0 192.168.0.209:35246     192.168.0.208:1024      ESTABLISHED 589/samba

Amazingly simple, but it fixes it.

You should see the extra Domain Computers that were not on your Secondary Samba4 Domain Controller.

To confirm all is working, add or edit a user and check it on the DC2... 

samba-tool group listmembers "Domain Computers" |sort -f

or 

samba-tool user list |sort -f

And look at the Replication status log... 

samba-tool drs showrepl

SAMBA4 Group Policy Error

Error 

The processing of Group Policy failed. Windows attempted to read the file \\domain.com\sysvol\domain.com\Policies\{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}\gpt.ini from a domain controller and was not successful. Group Policy settings may not be applied until this event is resolved. This issue may be transient and could be caused by one or more of the following: 
a) Name Resolution/Network Connectivity to the current domain controller.
b) File Replication Service Latency (a file created on another domain controller has not replicated to the current domain controller).
c) The Distributed File System (DFS) client has been disabled.

Check 

find /usr/local/samba/ -type d -name 'Policies'
/usr/local/samba/var/locks/sysvol/domain.com/Policies/

smbcacls //domain.com/sysvol domain.com -U Administrator@domain.com
smbcacls //domain.com/sysvol domain.com/Policies/{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}/gpt.ini -U Administrator@domain.com

Fix 

samba-tool ntacl sysvolreset
samba-tool ntacl sysvolcheck

Secondary DC

For some reason, the file replication did not work and the Group Policy files and folders were missing on the secondary domain controller.

Copy the Group Policies folder to the secondary domain controller... 

rsync -h -a -v /usr/local/samba/var/locks/sysvol/domain.com/ root@192.168.0.209:/usr/local/samba/var/locks/sysvol/domain.com/

Then, run the same 2 commands on the secondary dc to fix that as well... 

samba-tool ntacl sysvolreset
samba-tool ntacl sysvolcheck

Job, done.

Problems Administering - Backup Key

Upgrade to Samba 4.3.

The problem is related to a buggy and/or incomplete implementation of the "Backup Key" sub-protocol that older Samba versions have. You'll probably notice that Credential Manager was also unusable for the same reason.

Alternatively, use an older OS to manage the directory – e.g. Server 2003 can create user accounts without any problems, since it doesn't use the "Backup Key" protocol for anything yet. (I am not sure about Server 2008.)

Unfortunately, 4.3 is not yet packaged for Ubuntu – still pending in Debian's "unstable" too – however, it's actually easy to build Samba from source code.

As for the [Users] block, it simply defines a shared folder.

In smb.conf, every section except [global] corresponds to a share definition – "netlogon" and "sysvol" are special AD shares, and "Users" is probably a custom one.

SAMBA4 TO DO

  • Updating From GIT

Shut down Samba on both DC1 and DC2. 

git pull

...but may have to do:- 

git clean -x -f -d

Make and Install as above.

Start Samba on both DC1 and DC2.

  • Ubuntu Startup Script

https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/InitScript

  • Secondary AD DC
samba-tool rds showrepl

1. On the server you have already installed what you want to match:- 

  $ cd /usr/src/samba4/samba-master
  $ git log -1

This will show you have HASH revision number.

2. On the server you want to install the same:- 

  $ mkdir /usr/src/samba4
  $ cd /usr/src/samba4/
  $ git clone git://git.samba.org/samba.git samba-master
  $ cd samba-master/
  $ git checkout 8aae8b5bad167ac732b7f8949dfb40aebb2f26a9
  $ git reset --hard

Proceed as above for installing the software.

Windows 7: Domain Log On

There are currently two registry settings required to be added on the Windows 7 client prior to joining a Samba Domain. These are: 

        HKLM\System\CCS\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters
            DWORD  DomainCompatibilityMode = 1
            DWORD  DNSNameResolutionRequired = 0

Do not edit any other registry parameters (NETLOGON) that have been seen in the wild. If you have already modified your Windows 7 registry, please make sure to reset the keys to their default values.

If you have changed the NETLOGON Parameters, make sure and turn them back to '1' as shown below: 

       HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Netlogon\Parameters
           DWORD  RequireSignOrSeal = 1
