-Item Number: 2.0
-Description: Problems with MS Windows NT Server network logon service
-Symptom: Loss of Domain Logon Services and failed Windows NT / 95
- logon attempts.
-OS: All Unix systems with Windows NT Domain Control environments.
-Platform: All
-Date: February 1, 1997
-Submitted By: John H Terpstra
-Details:
- Samba is configured for Domain logon control in a network
- where a Windows NT Domain Primary Controller is running.
-
- Case 1:
- The Windows NT Server is shut down, then restarted. Then
- the Samba server is reconfigured so that it NO LONGER offers
- Domain logon services. Windows NT and 95 workstations can no
- longer log onto the domain. Ouch!!!
-
- Case 2:
- The Windows NT Server which is running the Network logon
- Service is shut down and restarted while Samba is a domain
- controller offering the Domain LogOn service. Windows NT
- Workstation and Server can no longer log onto the network.
-
- Cause:
- Windows NT checks at start up to see if any domain logon
- controllers are already running within the domain. It finds
- Samba claiming to offer the service and therefore does NOT
- start its Network Logon Service.
-
- Windows NT needs the Windows NT network logon service to gain
- from its Domain controller's SAM database the security
- identifier for the user loging on.
-
-Work-around: Stop the Samba nmbd and smbd processes, then on the Windows
- NT Primary Domain Controller start the Network Logon Service.
- Now restart the Samba nmbd and smbd services.
-
- Better still: DO NOT CONFIGURE SAMBA AS THE NETWORK LOGON
- SERVER, DO NOT SET SAMBA TO BE THE DOMAIN MASTER, DO NOT
- SET SAMBA TO OS LEVEL GREATER THAN 0.
-
- ie: Let Windows NT Server be the Domain Logon server, the
- domain master browser and do NOT interfere with any aspect
- of Microsoft Windows NT Domain Control.
