→How to Join a Domain with a Non-root User
{{Code|nano /var/hda/domain-settings/netlogon/logon.bat}}
and add the following to it:
net time /set /yes
;Mount a samba share into x:
net use x: \\hda\SOFTWARE /persistent:no
net use y: \\hda\VIDEOS /persistent:no
net use z: \\hda\MUZIEK /persistent:no}}</pre>
save the file.
next go to the workstation that you want to add to the domain.
Select start, control panel, system, and click computernamecomputer name.
then select network-id and follow the wizard.
when it asks you for a username/password, supply the root username/password you created on the PDC.
Open a terminal on your hda, or, if you use putty, open a connection to your hda.<br>
Login as root:
First, backup your smb.conf file, in case you run into problems you can easily revert back.<br>
next we need to modify the smb file, i use nano for this, you may use any editor you feel confortable with
change the apropriate parts in the smb.conf.<br>
Save your smb.conf
So at this point we need to create the corresponding directories:
mkdir /var/hda/domain-settings/netlogon
mkdir /var/hda/domain-settings/profiles}}</pre>
Each time you want a user to join the domain, a user needs to be added, this can be done through the users tab on the amahi dashboard.<br>
aditionally, a profile directory needs to be created.<br>
JanJacobs is the user i created through the users tab of the amahi dashboard.<br>
Since we are logging in as root, we need to change the ownership of the previously created directory to the corresponding owner:
Now, this still doesnt allow us to login, because in samba, machines need to be added too!<br>
this can be done automaticly, but for the time beeing we do it manually, amahi may facilitate this for you in the future.
this tells Linux that it is a machine, not a name.<br>
Next when we added the Samba password, we invoked the -m,
now its time to restart samba.
Now you need to setup your Windows pc for domain logins.<br>
(Note the first time that you join a Samba domain from Windows, you will need to join the domain by using root as the name, and your root password for the password.<br>
After rebooting, any valid user will be able to access the domain.)
