Samba 4 Domain Controller - Part 2

Step 2: Samba 4 download and Installation. 

  • Download the samba 4 alpha 13 package from here 
  • New: Download the samba 4 alpha 14 package from here
    Download package to user's home directory or some other place.( In my case it is in /home/admin)
    •  Now install/update some development libraries..

    Open terminal and type "su", press enter. Give root password, press enter. Then type " yum install libacl-devel libblkid-devel gnutls-devel readline-devel python-devel gdb pkgconfig".

    •  Once updated, type "ls -l"
    •  untar the file with this command "tar -xvzf <filename>"
    •  then "cd samba*"
    •  then "cd source4"
    •  follow the procedure to compile the samba package
    ./configure
    make
    • to install samba type the following
    make install
    •  installer will install the samba to /usr/local/samba
    •  Now we have to provision samba
    The "provision" step sets up a basic user database, and is used when you are setting up your Samba4 server in its own domain.
    • make sure the you are in source4 directory.. type
     ./setup/provision --realm=admingeeks.blogspot.com --domain=ADMINGEEKS --adminpass=fedora@123 --server-role='domain controller'

    • run samba by this command
    /usr/local/samba/sbin/samba
    • verify that samba service is running

    • verify samba server status
    smbclient -L localhost -U%
    That's it.  We have done.. Now samba will act as domain controller. Windows XP, Vista, 7 clients can join to this domain..

    Part 3: Configure DNS, Creating users, Managing users, Group Policy objects, Join Windows clients to this Domain, Windows server 2008 as Additional domain controller to samba.......
