Hello!
Never configured a Linux server from a scratch.
Reviewed the official documentation and dozens of different "how to", but now one of them helped me to solve the issue.
The need:
Quote:
1. Ubuntu Server (already installed)
2. Connect to it 1 Linux Mint computer (already installed) + 1 computer with Windows 7 (already installed).
Need to create 3 groups with permissions:
1. AdminUsers(with full admin access).
2. SimpleUsers (with limited access and interdiction of applicatoin install on Linux Mint and Windows 7
3. AdvancedUsers (with moderated access: permissions to install apps)
Need to create users inside each of those groups (User: Adm1 inside AdminUsers group, user: Simple1 inside SimpleUseres group, user:Advus inside AdvancedUsers group).
Need to connect with specific user from Linux Mint and Windows 7.
Need to have redirected Desktop to specific folder on the Server (for SimpleUsers - they share same Desktop, for AdminUsers and AdvancedUsers - they have their own Desktop, but still under folders inside Server and not on their local machines.
My final goal is to install a small network (later with around 10 stations) where I can controle the stations OS from the Server (example: limiting different apps installation on Win7-8, Linux Mint 17, MacOS with the users restrictions)
And also add a personalized and group file sharing.
Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS.
Installed Samba by following this video: _youtube.com/watch?v=Rf7Hk8qWt1Q
_ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2146198
But receiving errors:
Receiving error in the authentication step verification:
# smbclient //localhost/netlogon -U 'administrator'
Enter administrator's password:
Domain=[USERVER] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 4.1.6-Ubuntu]
tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME
==
And next also receiving error:
kinit
administrator@MYDOMAIN.LOCAL
kinit: Cannot contact any KDC for realm 'MYDOMAIN.LOCAL' while getting initial credentials

On the side of Win7 I applied two registrie fixes (found this on the web).
But cannot connect the station to the domain.
Cannot even ping the domain: not the host and not the full domain host.mydomain.local
But, when placing the DNS in Win7 with IP of my server can ping the host, but still not the domain: not host.mydomain.local and not mydomain.local, only host unswering pings.
Dont really understand if this is an authomated task: thus mean, that by adding from the side of win7 station to the domain it will create the station name authomaticaly on the side of Ubuntu Server. Or, I need first write this station name somwhere on the side of Ubuntu Server, give the permissions to this specific station and only than add it from the side of Win7.
But all this should be the next steps, presently, as I understand the problem is in correct Samba configuration
Can someone suggest the correction?
Thank you in advance!
