Samba 4 Domain Controller on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

1. Configure network with a static ip address

$sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.35
gateway 192.168.0.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
dns-nameservers 192.168.0.1 114.114.114.114 8.8.8.8
dns-search szhnbc.com

2. Name your domain controller

$sudo hostname rd-server
$sudo echo "rd-server" > /etc/hostname
$sudo nano /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 rd-server.szhnbc.com RD-Server
192.168.0.35 rd-server.szhnbc.com rd-server

$sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
$sudo reboot

3. Install packages ntp, acl, samba + tools

$apt-get install ntp acl samba krb5-user smbclient

在安装Kerberos时，会提示输入相关信息

Your realm: SZHNBC.COM
Kerberos servers for your realm: rd-server.szhnbc.com
Administrative server: rd-server.szhnbc.com

4. Configure samba

Remove automatically created configuration　　

$sudo rm /etc/samba/smb.conf

Configure samba with samba-tool

$sudo samba-tool domain provision --realm szhnbc.com --domain szhnbc --adminpass Password123 --server-role=dc

注意：如果设置安全比较低的密码，会导致命令失败。

Server Role:           active directory domain controller
Hostname:              rd-server
NetBIOS Domain:        SZHNBC
DNS Domain:            szhnbc.com
DOMAIN SID:            S------

5. Configure DNS

对于大型，复杂的网络部署，建议你应该使用BIND，但在我的实际环境中，内建的DNS已经足够用了。

$sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf

dns forwarder = 8.8.8.8
allow dns updates = nonsecure

$sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

dns-nameservers 192.168.0.35

$sudo reboot now

6. Test your new domain controller

$ host -t SRV _ldap._tcp.szhnbc.com.
_ldap._tcp.szhnbc.com has SRV record    rd-server.szhnbc.com.
$ host -t SRV _kerberos._udp.szhnbc.com.
_kerberos._udp.szhnbc.com has SRV record    rd-server.szhnbc.com.
$ host -t A rd-server.szhnbc.com.
rd-server.szhnbc.com has address 192.168.0.35$ kinit administrator
Password for administrator@SZHNBC.COM:

7. Manage your new domain controller

Recommended way of managing your server is to use "Remote Server Administration Tools", which you can install on Windows 7 desktop pc as a feature.

You can also manage users & groups with samba-tool

samba-tool user add john --surname=Smith --given-name=John
samba-tool group add test_group
samba-tool group addmembers test_group john

samba-tool user list
getent passwd john
id john
