Next week, Microsoft will release an important security update for Active Directory Domain Controllers. This includes a protocol change to Netlogon that may affect specific Samba environments.
Who is affected?
Samba installations acting as member servers in Windows AD domains are potentially impacted. Setups involving domain trusts may also be affected. Depending on the configuration, current versions of Samba will no longer function correctly once the Microsoft update is applied.
What is SerNet doing?
The SAMBA+ team at SerNet is closely monitoring the changes, has assessed the situation, and is already preparing updated SAMBA+ packages to restore full compatibility. These will be made available in time, ahead of Microsoft’s rollout.
What you should do:
- Check your configuration if you’re running Samba in a Windows AD environment.
- Watch out for new SAMBA+ package updates early next week (starting July 7th) .
- Apply the update before Microsoft’s rolls out the patch.
All SAMBA+ updates are included in active subscriptions.
If you do not yet have a subscription, visit the SAMBA+ shop (EUR) or SAMBA+ shop (USD) for access.
