Make sure that acl and attr are installed and are set in the /etc/fstab file:

# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
/dev/sda1 /               ext4    user_xattr,acl,barrier=1,errors=remount-ro 0       1

Remount using:

mount -o remount,rw /

I also add the wins option to the /etc/nsswitch.conf file:

hosts:          files wins dns

It seems that Samba doesn't like at all. I've followed various tutorials and I can't get Windows 8 to work properly with a Ubuntu Server as domain controller. This week i've downloaded ubuntu 14.04 lts and set a fast domain configuration. As usual all other Windows version (XP and 7) work but the newest M$ nightmare doesn't. In this try it doesn't even join the domain, keeps saying the my username or password are wrong.

And is there a way to import my old AD users, computers and ID in a way that I won't need to rejoin all computers?

Now I've tested various versions since 4.0.0 final til 4.1.9, all working with Windows 8.1. Provisioning a domain with:

$ samba-tool domain provision --domain=domain --adminpass=Abc12345 --server-role=dc --realm=domain.lan --dns-backend=SAMBA_INTERNAL

The /etc/samba/smb.conf:

/etc/samba/smb.conf

# Global parameters
[global]
    workgroup = DOMAIN
    realm = DOMAIN.LAN
    netbios name = DOM
    server role = active directory domain controller
    dns forwarder = 8.8.8.8

[netlogon]
    path = /var/lib/samba/sysvol/domain.lan/scripts
    read only = No

[sysvol]
    path = /var/lib/samba/sysvol
    read only = No

Setting the complete name in /etc/hosts:

127.0.1.1 dom
192.168.0.2 dom.domain.lan dom

and /etc/hostname:

dom.domain.lan

Setting the static IP address:

auto eth0
 iface eth0 inet static
 address 192.168.0.2
 netmask 255.255.255.0
 network 192.168.0.0
 broadcast 192.168.0.255
 gateway 192.168.0.1
 dns-nameserver 8.8.8.8 208.67.222.222
 dns-search domain.lan

Does anyone have a tutorial that really works? Because I've tried many, each one with different configurations that works only with the people that made them.
