* If you havent ran this already

* Open a terminal (set the samba password for the root user. You need to remember this for later!):

smbpasswd -e root

service smb restart

* if your running Ubuntu 12.04 you will get a error saying smb: unrecogized service or nmb: unrecogized service, you can restart samba through the dashboard then Setup, then servers, click on Samba and click restart.

3. Back to windows!

4. Back to Amahi!

* Open a terminal

* Remember the $ on the first line but not the second!

* This code authorizes your computer to connect

now your new smb.conf is beeing generated!

create the following file:

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

save the file.

next go to the workstation that you want to add to the domain.

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

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.)
