Can't connect new PC to domain

[psb]

I'd then need to buy windows server licence for the NAS?

Cheaper than buying a separate server!

[psb]

Well that's true!

Hi Psb
I successfully installed 3 Qnap that working standalone DC servers and they work fine.
What version of windows 10 Did you use ?
If you accept I could be help you with TeamViewer session on Computer have access to your NAS and ssh session.
I am french and live in France I not talk very well english but i think i could be help you that s good challenge for me if you accept.

I enjoy recently problem with compatibility problem about first version of Windows 10
Some problems are corrected on Win10 1607 and newer
Have nice day

So does the anniversary update (1607) fix authentication issue?
If so, why would Qnap not know that?

I found a bug about 10 before 1607 with network Share. I had problem to access Administrative share (Sysvol and netlogon)

While I haven't used a QNAP as a principal domain controller (PDC) using SAMBA 4, I have used the unsupported facilities in SAMBA 3.6.25 to run a TS-459 Pro II as a PDC for many years. I have seen situations where you could not join the domain even when you could ping the NAS and sometimes even when you can see the shares. It seems to be a problem with name resolution, specifically WINS (see http://www.oreilly.com/openbook/samba/book/ch07_03.html for more details on name resolution. Basically WINS seems to get it's local database messed up and the easiest solution was to force it to re-build. I don't know if WINS is even still used in a SAMBA 4 based machine, but if it is (check /etc/config/smb.conf), then the same solution may work. That is;

1. ssh into your nas.
2. shutdown SAMBA: /etc/init.d/smb.sh stop
3. delete or rename the file wins.dat which on my system has been at /share/MD0_DATA/.samba/state/wins.dat or /share/MD0_DATA/.locks/wins.dat depending on the QNAP firmware version. You may need to search for it, i.e. find / -name wins.dat
4. restart SAMBA: /etc/init.d/smb.sh start
5. probably also re-boot the offending PC

The file wins.dat gets re-built automatically when SAMBA starts.
