I have an AD/DC, running on Zentyal 6.1 (wich is a web service of Samba 4.11 running on 18 iirc). But here is the thing: I have some users (we are on the same network, I can even reach them via ping, those users use Win7 and Win10 as OS) far away from me (more than 300 km) and due to the pandemic situation in my country I can't go over there and do what I need to do myself. I have a virtual PC running Win7 with RSAT so I can easily manage users and the GPOs with Windows mmc. There is a tab called **Remote controller** wich intrigue me, I have done some research and it seems like an old tool wich right now it's not usable. I know there are other tools as the RemoteControllerClient, Windows's RDP, VNCs servers and so on, but out of curiosity I would love to know if there is an integrated tool on AD/DC (running on **Samba!**) wich can be used in order to control (if not, at least to see the display) the session of a PC in my domain. Greetings

I'm facing a issue with my wireless configuration in Zentyal Linux Server. I configured my wifi network setting in /etc/network/interfaces like this : # interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8) auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto wlan1 iface wlan1 inet dhcp wireless-essid wireless-key1 address 192.168.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1 ... It is working fine but when i restart my Server. Network settings get removed every time and shows following lines only : # interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8) auto lo iface lo inet loopback Every time i have to write these settings again to start my wifi. What is going on, and how can I fix this ?

I have been working on making Zentyal packages possible on the armhf architecture, and finally succeeded in a working build of 4.0 packages. However the installation is quirky as these packages have a LOT of dependencies, and apt-get does not continue with the install interface of the separate packages. So I thought, let's make a repo out of them, and make it available to all! The thing is - Zentyal uses virtual packages to install. And I simply couldn't find any information on how to add virtual packages to a repo using reprepro. Is there anything simpler than manually adding the entries to the Release file and re-creating the repo with reprepro?

I have another question on here that is almost exactly the same, but it had a lot more details and kind of went off track (and I never got my answer). So I'm trying again. I know that this command works. When sent FROM my Samba4 ADC, the following command successfully replicates PDC -> ADC sudo net rpc share migrate files sysvol \ -k --destination=ADCserverName.companyname.local \ -S PDCserverName.companyname.local --acls \ -U "companyname\\AdminAccountName" What would the command be to replicate ADC -> PDC? Do I simply reverse the --destination and -S?

I have a Primary Domain Controller (PDC) and an Additional Domain Controller (ADC) running on two different machines at two different locations connected via a VPN. Both are running a version of Ubuntu with Samba4. I'm having trouble getting changes to replicate from DC to DC, but most of my trouble is only one way. I have determined that the correct way to initiate a replication from PDC -> ADC is to send the following command FROM THE ADC: sudo net rpc share migrate files sysvol \ -k --destination=ADCserverName.companyname.local \ -S PDCserverName.companyname.local --acls \ -U "companyname\\AdminAccountName" ...and this works pretty well. What is not working is my ADC -> PDC replication. And furthermore, I am not sure about what command I should issue FROM THE PDC to initiate an ADC -> PDC replication. Would it be the EXACT SAME COMMAND with simply the --destination= and -S reversed? Full disclosure: I'm running the two Domain Controllers on Zentyal Community Edition 3.5. I have tried getting help from the forum there: https://forum.zentyal.org/index.php?topic=23294.0 but the response so far has been zero. As I understand it Zentyal is merely a customized version of samba4 running on top of Ubuntu with a nice GUI. So I thought I might get a generic answer related to samba here.
