Samba versions supporting Windows7 Domain Logon
Support for Windows 7 using Samba Domain Controllers has been added to the following versions:
- Samba 3.4
- Samba 3.3
We successfully tested Windows 7 Ultimate (Build 2600) with Samba 3.4.0 and Samba 3.3.7.
Windows 7 Registry settings
There are currently two registry settings required to be added on the Windows 7 client prior to joining a Samba Domain. These are:
HKLM\System\CCS\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters DWORD DomainCompatibilityMode = 1 DWORD DNSNameResolutionRequired = 0
Samba also ships with a registry patchfile that users can apply directly. The patchfile can be found in recent Samba sourcecode: $SOURCE/docs-xml/registry/Win7_Samba3DomainMember.reg or in Samba Bugzilla here: https://bugzilla.samba.org/attachment.cgi?id=4988&action=view
Make sure to either reboot Windows 7 or restart the LanmanWorkstation service after setting these entries.
You will receive one warning about DNS domain name configuration after the join has succeeded:
"Changing the Primary Domain DNS name of this computer to "" failed. The name will remain "MYDOM". The error was: The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted"
This warning can be ignored or silenced with setting other registry keys.
Update: There is a hotfix available from Microsoft to address this, see this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2171571 Knowledge Base article for details
Do not edit any other registry parameters (NETLOGON) that have been seen in the wild. If you have already modified your Windows 7 registry, please make sure to reset the keys to their default values.
If you have changed the NETLOGON Parameters, make sure and turn them back to '1' as shown below:
HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Netlogon\Parameters DWORD RequireSignOrSeal = 1 DWORD RequireStrongKey = 1
