First of all, I'm a complete novice to Armbian so my apologies if any of the following isn't up to the standard of this board. I've just installed Armbian 5.38 stable Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch) 4.14.18-sunxi on a Banana Pi. The same computer was previously running a domain controller under Bananian just fine.

 

Installing Samba on Armbian works fine:

r

oot@Linux08:~# apt-get install samba attr

 

Installing the packets to operate Samab as a DC also works fine:

 

root@Linux08:~# apt-get install winbind libpam-winbind libnss-winbind libpam-krb5 krb5-config krb5-user

 

However, attempting to provision a new Active Dirctory domain does not complete successfully.

 

root@Linux08:/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf# samba-tool domain provision --use-rfc2307 --interactive

Can anyone provide any help?

 

Thank you!

You did not install all the required packages, in this case - samba-dsdb-modules

It's actually installed, unfortunately:

 

root@Linux08:~# apt-get install samba-dsdb-modules
