samba domain integration

[Tom Elliott]

Active directory and Samba “AD replicated kinda” Domain should work the same. It’s just ldap requests.

As long as your Samba configuration is setup properly, the same mechanisms you would use for AD should work.

@Tom-Elliott it’s not a samba AD (samba 3.6.6 without AD)
then it cant works ?

I don’t know, never tried to be honest.

Hmm just a question does rename and integration are launched Indifferently after capture or deploy or only after deploy?

Indifferently

If you can write a script to join samba then you could get the same functionality with a snapin.

It’s a good idea, i already use a script after symantec ghost clonage.
But it would be nicer if fog could do that "natively.
But i keep the idea

[Tom Elliott]

Have you Tried doing it “natively”?

[Sebastian Roth]

We use samba without AD (but LDAP!) and domain joining is done via FOG client (Win7/10) without trouble! As Tom said: Domain does not have to be Active Directory…

I made a test without success but i’ll try again on monday

I’m using samba also with ldap and i’m very interesting . Could you explain me the way you use ?
Does samba integration is made automaticcaly without snapin ?
Thanks for your answer

Yes! I guess you’ve setup samba kind of like this using smbldap-tools and all the rest: http://www.unixmen.com/setup-samba-domain-controller-with-openldap-backend-in-ubuntu-13-04/

Pay attention to the last couple of screenshots. Windows clients join that domain exactly as if they would join an AD! So from the clients’ point of view there is no difference. Use the FOG clients’ AD settings (edit host and then click ‘Active Directory’ on the left menu).

Prerequisites: FOG client installed and working and domain join for that client should work (try by hand at first).

Hello,
i’m using samba with ldap without smbldap-tools but i think it’s not a problem.
I can integrate the windows client manually without problem
Can you explain me what fields you use in the “Active directory” configuration?

Domain name
Organizational Unit
Domain Username
Domain Password
Domain Password Legacy

Thanks for your help

@Uncle-Frank
i made some tests this morning without success and i’ve got that in the fog.log file :
HostnameChanger Checking Hostname
HostnameChanger Hostname is correct
HostnameChanger Registering host with active directory
HostnameChanger Logon failure: unknown username or bad password, code = 1326
HostnameChanger Activing host with product key

But i can integrate manually the windows 7 client
Could you help me ?
What client version are you using?
Thanks

[Tom Elliott]

@plegrand I think the better question to be asked is what fog version are you use? Particularly the client version. Are you using the legacy client or the new client?

Have you ensured your passwords (FOG Crypted in the ADPassLegacy vield) and (Plaintext in the ADPass field as it will auto encrypt for you) are correct?

[plegrand]

@Tom-Elliott May be the problem is because i’ve got some specials caracters into the password ?

[plegrand]

@Tom-Elliott sorry i made some tests with the legacy client and some with the new one.
Actually i try with the new client

[plegrand]

@Tom-Elliott
To summarize i use a trunk version of fog : In th e litle cloud at the top of the page : 4700
I use the “new client”
I’m sure of my user wich is able to join windows client into samba domain.
I can join my windows machine test manually and with powershell script
On the “Active Directory” Host configuration i dont use the “Domain Password Legacy” field only the “Domain Password”.
Here is how i do :
Join Domain after image task “checked”
Domain name “samba_domain”
Organizational Unit “blanck”
Domain Username administrateur
Domain Password : contain this " ’ "
i’ve got this error message :
HostnameChanger Logon failure: unknown username or bad password, code = 1326

I didnt configure anything else on fog server

Thanks for your help

@Tom-Elliott Is it possible that the problem comes from an apostrophe in the password of the Samba domain administrator?

Can you try with an account test with a simple password ?
