Adjusted.

Here is some of my global and share; I'm assuming this is esentially the most important data

So at this point I would have to assume that there is a mistake in on smb.conf file eh?

Just going through the checklist

Installed samba ....... Yep
smb.conf file .........Prob?
Made samba/anonymous.....yep
Firewall steps........yep

Can access it from windows comp.......No
See it in my domain......No

Well for some reason when I got home and started to re-try everything after confirming the service was indeed stopped, suddenly I could start it, and complete step 8 with success....

Still not a DC but progress for sure

@coliver

State is definitely not running.

@coliver

Sorry never tried this before.

My result was forewalld.noarch 0.3.9-11.e.17 @base

@coliver

Absolutely correct

C:\Users\admin>nslookup dc.pricehouse.ca
Server: hostserver.pricehouse.ca
Address: 192.168.1.10

Name: dc.pricehouse.ca
Address: 104.167.119.11

full pings

@coliver

Sorry,

A dns entry on my dc to dc.pricehouse.ca?

@coliver

So changing home computer to

192.168.1.10
8.8.8.8

I get

C:\Users\admin>nslookup dc.pricehouse.ca
Server: hostserver.pricehouse.ca
Address: 192.168.1.10

*** hostserver.pricehouse.ca can't find dc.pricehouse.ca: Non-existent domain

so thats interesting

@coliver

This means nothing to me haha

@coliver

Sorry ignore the initial nslookup that was done at work.

Second one was done at home, my router is set to point to google.
Then when I add computers to my domain I change it to my home based DC.

Should I change the DNS entry to 104.167.119.11 or to my home based 192.168.1.10
(or both)

@coliver

I'm assuming at one point when I do something "right" this dc should appear in my windows dc like @scottalanmiller mentioned, however; definitely not currently there.

Server: google-public-dns-a.google.com
Address: 8.8.8.8

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: dc.pricehouse.ca
Address: 104.167.119.11

@coliver

Changed netbios name to dc.pricehouse.ca

10.25.10.10.in-addr.arpa
primary name server = localhost
responsible mail addr = nobody.invalid
serial = 1
refresh = 600 (10 mins)
retry = 1200 (20 mins)
expire = 604800 (7 days)
default TTL = 10800 (3 hours)
Server: UnKnown
Address: 10.10.25.10

@coliver

Correct me if I'm wrong though but I assume I have more than one issue.

I cant browse to \dc but if the firewall is off that means thats not preventing me from accessing it, so there's another reason for that particular problem, and just a second one with the firewall.

@coliver

Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start firewall.service
Failed to issue method call: Unit firewall.service failed to load: no such file or directory

So I believe I followed the link Scott posted fairly well.

I'm trying to do

[root@server1 ~]# firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=samba

to which I just get its not running, reading into it that may be something Cloudatcost is in control of though?

So then even moving past it, I cant seem to browse to it from my house.

I'm using a computer that is currently just pulling DHCP from my router and isnt connected to the domain. Can ping it just fine but cant go \dc (dc is what I made the netbios name)

So far I think its safe so say I dont have enough Linux knowledge to easily make a linux DC haha

Sorry guys,

My bad, actually looking for the client side software.

@mlnews

Will Openfire show you offline when you lock your computer?
