Adding a Samba-AD in a Microsoft Active Directory domain
This documentation can be used to migrate an existing MS-AD domain to a Samba-AD domain.
Hint
Samba 4.20 supports MSAD 2016 schema with a 2016 forest level. The 2016 level includes silos, claims and FAST kerberos.
Show the current forest level;
Get-ADDomain | fl Name,DomainMode Get-ADForest | fl Name,ForestMode
Then prepare the Samba virtual machine according to the following recommendations, then instantiate the domain controller as a secondary domain controller;
After joining, check that the DNS entries of the new domain controller have been created;
samba_dnsupdate --verbose
Add the address of the Samba-AD controller to the network card of the Windows machine as a secondary DNS server;
Check that the replications are running correctly on the Samba side with the following command line:
samba-tool drs showrepl
Check that the replications are running correctly on the Windows side with the following command line:
repadmin /showrepl
