Questions:
1. Can Samba 4.5 "standalone" be started temporarily in parallel with
Win DC so that workstations can "see" it and copy files to the samba
server? (there are no plans to join the Win DC domain with samba
standalone).
2. The workstations are a mix of windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10. Wil they
"see" the standalone server while still being under the Win DC
control?
3. Do the workstations have to somehow "leave" the Windows AD DC first
in order to start using the standalone samba server? If yes then how
one does do that?
Hi All,
It is unclear to me what group membership should \\server\users (or /srv/samba/users) get if it is planned to be ina standalone role...
and using only POSIX ACLs. The relevant wiki instructions are stating:
"Create the directory and set the correct permissions:
# mkdir -p /srv/samba/users/
# chgrp -R "Domain Users" /srv/samba/users/
# chmod 2750 /srv/samba/users/"
But there is a hidden assuption in the above that it is AD DC -
"Domain Users". Or may be I should just create a linux group by that
name or any other name and add all the future users to that group? In
the back of my head I may consider converting this standalone srv into
a Domain Member. Do you have an advice what to do in this case?
Besides:
groupadd "Domain Users" produces a warning - not a valid group name

I added some sentences to be clear about this: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/User_Home_Folders#Using_POSIX_ACLs
Anyway, in a non-domain environment, naming a group "Domain Users" seems to guarantee confusion some day. :-)
