Topic: windows 10 pro can't join sme9.1 domain

[globalsi]

Hi,

I cant reach my sme9.1 domain with Win10Pro station.
No problem with windows7Pro.


With native windows 10 (version 1511), i can't join the domain :
"
Cannot connect a AD for domain mydomain.loc.
Check the domain name
"

I've followed https://wiki.contribs.org/Windows_10_Support and installed win10samba.reg but i still can't join the domain.
My DNS server is the SME.

Any ideas ?

Thank you.

PS : SME9.1 is up-to-date
PPS : Firewall is down and the network is private

I've got 2 installations with Win10Pro and SME 9.1 - both manage to connect (domain-wise) fine. In Both installations all the PCs where updated from Win7.

both are Server and Gateway, no experience with private server mode.

You do have the "Workgroup and Domain Controller" ticked in the "Workgroup" subsection of the Server Manager?

[globalsi]

Windows10 are "native" ; not upgrade from windows7.
SME is server only and "Workgroup and Domain Controller" is on "Yes" (I can join Windows7 easily , just windows10 crash).

AD is not supported, only Win NT style DOMAINS.
Perhaps you need to disable AD in Windows.

what are you using as domain name to join in w10?

[globalsi]

mydomain

what are you using as domain name to join in w10?

mydomain.loc
I also try mydomain without success.

[Stefano]

in server-manager workgroup page, which is the content of "windows workgroup" filed? this is the domain name you have to join to

[globalsi]

in server-manager workgroup page, which is the content of "windows workgroup" filed? this is the domain name you have to join to

the content of "windows workgroup" is mydomain.loc
but...
I've just seen that in "LDAP directory"  I have dc=mydomain,dc=local

... strange ...

I'll reconfigure the server with only mydomain.loc and retry W10 junction next week.

[Stefano]

that's wrong..

forget about ldap and the primary domain you setup (mydomain.local)

in workgroup field you must have something like "mydomain" and use it ad the domain name to join

[globalsi]

in workgroup field you must have something like "mydomain" and use it ad the domain name to join

just mydomain ? this won't work with mydomain.loc ?

PS I remind that everything works well with Win7 and mydomain.loc, only Win10 crash.

[Stefano]

SME is a NT style DC, not an AD one..

for safety, use just mydomain or something similar

[globalsi]

ok, thanks for the tip.
I'll try next week

PS : is it safe to change the domain name ? (for the computers already inside the domain for example)

[Stefano]

mmmhh... no, I won't change anything if you already have other machines joined

the only way to make things work is to debug and solve your issue.. is there anything interesting/relevant in event ROTFLviewer?

.... mmm .... what is ROTFLviewer ? 

[Stefano]

is the event viewer you find in windows (don't ask me where on W10, google is your friend)

ROTFL is just because often what you find in event viewer is just useless
