The "DebianEdu/Documentation/Buster/HowTo/Samba" page has been changed by WolfgangSchweer:

Comment:
remove outdated information about Windows client configuration; rely on the Samba wiki instead.

- /!\ The information in this chapter is outdated. Please read the information provided on the Samba wiki about supported Windows versions, needed registry patches and other procedures. Probably a line containing {{{server max protocol = NT1}}} needs to be added to the {{{[global]}}} section of {{{/etc/samba/smb-debian-edu.conf}}} on the main server. Please consider updating this chapter if you know how to configure Samba for Debian Edu.

- Samba has been fully prepared for use as an NT4-style domain controller with Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 as clients. After a machine has joined the domain, this machine can be fully managed with GOsa².

- This documentation presumes that you have installed the Debian Edu main server and maybe also a Debian Edu workstation to verify that working under Debian Edu/Skolelinux works for you. We presume that you have already created some users that can flawlessly use the Debian Edu workstation. We also presume that you have a Windows XP/Vista/7 workstation at hand, so you can test access to the Debian Edu main server from a Windows machine.

  After installation of the Debian Edu main server the Samba host \\TJENER should be visible in your Windows Network Neighbourhood. Debian Edu's Windows domain is SKOLELINUX. Use a Windows machine (or a Linux system with smbclient) to browse your Windows/Samba network environment.

  === Windows hostname ===
  
  Make sure your Windows machine has the name that you want to use in the SKOLELINUX domain. If not, rename it first (and then reboot). The NetBIOS host name of the Windows machine will later on be used in GOsa² and cannot be changed there (without breaking the domain membership for this machine).

- 
- === Joining the SKOLELINUX Domain with Windows XP ===
- 
- Joining Windows XP machines (tested with Service Pack 3) works out of the box.
- 
- NOTE: Windows XP Home does not support domain membership; Windows XP Professional is required here. 
- 
-  1. log on to the Windows XP machine as Administrator (or any other account with Administrator privileges) 
-  1. click on "Start" then right-click on "Computer" and click on "Properties"
-  1. select tab "Computer Name" and click on "Change..." 
-  1. under "Member of", select the radio button beside "Domain:", type SKOLELINUX and then click "OK"
-  1. a pop up box will request to enter credentials of an account with rights to join the domain. Type username SKOLELINUX\Administrator and the root password, click "OK"
-  1. a confirmation pop up box will welcome you to the SKOLELINUX domain. Clicking on "OK", will result in having another message informing that a reboot for the machine is required to apply the changes. Click on "OK"
- 
- After the reboot, when you login the first time, click on the "Options >>" button and select the domain SKOLELINUX instead of the local domain ("this computer").
- 
- If joining the domain has been successful you should then be able to view the host details within GOsa² (under the menu section "Systems"). 
- 
- === Joining the SKOLELINUX Domain with Windows Vista/7 ===
- 
- Joining Windows Vista/7 machines to the SKOLELINUX domain requires the installation of a registry patch on the Windows Vista/7 client. This patch is provided at this location:
- 
-   \\tjener\netlogon\win7+samba_domain-membership\Win7_!Samba3DomainMember.reg
- 
- For further information please consult the included README_Win7-Domain-Membership.txt in the same folder. Make sure you apply this patch as a local Administrator of the Windows system.
- 
- After applying the above patch and rebooting the client system you should be able to join the SKOLELINUX domain:
- 
-  1. click on "Start" then right-click on "Computer" and click on "Properties"
-  1. the basic system information page will open. Under "Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings", click on "Change Settings"
-  1. on the System Properties page, click on "Change..."
-  1. under "Member of", select the radio button beside "Domain:", type SKOLELINUX and then click "OK"
-  1. a pop up box will request to enter credentials of an account with rights to join the domain. Type username SKOLELINUX\Administrator and the root password, click "OK"
-  1. a confirmation pop up box will welcome you to the SKOLELINUX domain. Clicking on "OK", will result in having another message informing that a reboot for the machine is required to apply the changes. Click on "OK"
- 
- After the reboot, when you login the first time, click on the "Options >>" button and select the domain SKOLELINUX instead of the local domain ("this computer").
