Manage Service Principal Names (SPN). Create a new SPN. Delete an existing SPN. List SPNs of a given user. Check the syntax of the configuration file. Retrieve the time on a server. Manage users. Create a new user. Please note that this subcommand is deprecated and available for compatibility reasons only. Please use samba-tool user create instead. Create a new user in the Active Directory Domain. Delete an existing user account. Disable an user account. Enable an user account. List all users. Change password for an user account (the one provided in authentication). Set the expiration of an user account. Sets or resets the password of an user account. Gets the password of an user account. Syncs the passwords of all user accounts, using an optional script. Note that this command should run on a single domain controller only (typically the PDC-emulator). Join and synchronise a remote AD domain to the local server. Please note that samba-tool vampire is deprecated, please use samba-tool domain join instead. Produce graphical representations of Samba network state. To work out what is happening in a replication graph, it is sometimes helpful to use visualisations. There are two subcommands, two graphical modes, and (roughly) two modes of operation with respect to the location of authority. samba-tool visualize ntdsconn Looks at NTDS connections. samba-tool visualize reps Looks at repsTo and repsFrom objects. --distance Distances between DCs are shown in a matrix in the terminal. --dot Generate Graphviz dot output. When viewed using dot or xdot, this shows the network as a graph with DCs as vertices and connections edges. Certain types of degenerate edges are shown in different colours or line-styles. -r Normally, samba-tool talks to one database; with the -r option attempts are made to contact all the DCs known to the first database. This is necessary to get sensible results from samba-tool visualize reps because the repsFrom/To objects are not replicated, and it can reveal replication issues in other modes. Gives usage information. This man page is complete for version &doc.version; of the Samba suite. The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
