Description of problem: We recently upgraded several of our domain controllers from Windows 2008 to Windows 2008 R2. After performing this upgrade, many of our Samba servers intermittently begin rejecting browse requests from users. The Samba logs show errors that seem to point to problems talking to only the Windows 2008 R2 servers: domain_client_validate: unable to validate password for user ray5147 in domain AVWORLD to Domain controller REDDC1. Error was NT_STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER. Currently, our Samba servers are set in DOMAIN mode with a password server set to a list of servers and/or a wildcard (*). It _seems_ as though when we configure our servers to talk to the non-R2 Windows 2008 servers the problems go away. Though I am not as certain, it seems that this problem does not exist under Samba 3.3.x -- however, there is no supported package of Samba 3.3.x for RHEL4. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): samba-3.0.33-0.19.el4_8.3 Fully patched RHEL 4.8 How reproducible: So far always... Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure Windows 2008 R2 DC's 2. Configure RHEL4.8 Samba 3.0.x domain members. 3. Ensure that the RHEL4.8 servers are talking to the 2K8 RC2 servers. 4. Begin accessing shares. After a while the above errors will occur. Actual results: Errors above. Expected results: Successful authentications. Additional info: I will attach Samba configurations and logfile entries. I can likely generate packet dumps as well and perhaps the configuration settings used on our 2008 R2 server if needed.
Created attachment 457525 [details] Samba configuration file. This is our Samba configuration file. Domain join is being done via: # net rpc join -U ray5147 -W AVWORLD
Created attachment 457526 [details] Samba logfile showing errors we're seeing.
Opened SR#00371934 for this issue with Red Hat Support.
