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

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. This warning can be ignored at the moment.

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.
