Windows 10: Windows 10 "silently" dropped support for Samba 3 domains?

After trying to join Windows 10 workstation to a Samba 3 domain, I finally found, after reading more of similar problems, that Windows 10, when asked to join the domain, indeed queries DNS only for the AD _ldap record for the domain.


There was no explicit announcement about dropping Samba 3 domain (and Windows Server 2016 joined that domain without any problems) - only this subtle change that can be found only by trying.


Can someone from Microsoft confirm that the NT domain support has indeed been officially dropped at or after version 1709 of Windows 10?

Setting up SAMBA

For some reason my windows server will not connect to my linux server running centos6.3

Here is what it does:





and here is my samba share config

Code: cat /etc/samba/smb.conf |less # Make sure not to do that on system directories as they may already have # been marked with othe SELinux labels. # # Use ls -ldZ /path to see which context a directory has # # Set labels only on directories you created! # To set a label use the following: chcon -t samba_share_t /path # # If you need to share a system created directory you can use one of the # following (read-only/read-write): # setsebool -P samba_export_all_ro on # or # setsebool -P samba_export_all_rw on # # If you want to run scripts (preexec/root prexec/print command/...) please # put them into the /var/lib/samba/scripts directory so that smbd will be # allowed to run them. # Make sure you COPY them and not MOVE them so that the right SELinux context # is applied, to check all is ok use restorecon -R -v /var/lib/samba/scripts # #-------------- # #======================= Global Settings ===================================== [global] # ----------------------- Network Related Options ------------------------- # # workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name, eg: MIDEARTH # # server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field # # netbios name can be used to specify a server name not tied to the hostname # # Interfaces lets you configure Samba to use multiple interfaces # If you have multiple network interfaces then you can list the ones # you want to listen on (never omit localhost) # # Hosts Allow/Hosts Deny lets you restrict who can connect, and you can # specifiy it as a per share option as well # workgroup = HORSLEY server string = Samba Server Version %v netbios name = Mediaserver : ; interfaces = lo eth0 10.0.1.1/2 ; hosts allow = 127. 192.168.12. 192.168.13. # --------------------------- Logging Options ----------------------------- # # Log File let you specify where to put logs and how to split them up. # # Max Log Size let you specify the max size log files should reach # logs split per machine log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m # max 50KB per log file, then rotate max log size = 50 # ----------------------- Standalone Server Options ------------------------ # # Scurity can be set to user, share(deprecated) or server(deprecated) # # Backend to store user information in.

I've setup an administrator user ( I think) but it will not connect to the share, they show up but no access. Any ideas?
