[sle-beta] Samba AD DC in SLES 15 ?

[Georges Martin]

Hello, Jim.

Thanks for the clarification on SLES 15/Samba AD DC.

Could it be part of a future Service Pack, though?

I'll do!

I was testing those Samba AD DC packages on SLES 15, openSUSE 15 and Tumbleweed but was never able to join a domain member, though :-/ Domain provisioning, joining a DC and DC replication worked, but not joining a domain member. 

As I had some hard deadlines, I came back to a Debian 9.4 deployment with the Samba 4.8 packages from the vanbelle.nl repository... and everything is working out of the box :-q

So, in a couple of weeks, I'll come back to test the latest SLES/openSUSE releases and compare with the Debian deployment. 

Georges

The Windows 7 is being corrected.  It is for all versions of Windows.

No, we will not deliver them at this time.  The integration is as a
domain member.

Great!  Please give us feedback there and feel free to open bugs on
that.  That repository should also have SLE15 rpms, though they will not
receive Enterprise support.  We are certainly interested in getting
input on these.
