[Samba] samba-tool not working as i'd expect

[Andrew Galdes]

Hello all,

I'm having problems using the "samba-tool" tool. From the documentation
i've read, the following command 'should' work. Apparently i'm missing
something.

####

[root at vmhost bin]# pwd
/usr/local/samba/bin
[root at vmhost bin]# ./samba-tool domain provision --realm=mytest.local
--domain=MYTEST --adminpass='welcome' --server-role='dc'
Usage: samba-tool domain <subcommand>

Available subcommands:
classicupgrade - Upgrade from Samba classic (NT4-like) database to
Samba AD DC database.
dcpromo - Promotes an existing domain member or NT4 PDC to an
AD DC
demote - Demote ourselves from the role of Domain Controller
exportkeytab - Dumps kerberos keys of the domain into a keytab
info - Print basic info about a domain and the DC passed as
parameter
join - Joins domain as either member or backup domain
controller
level - Raises domain and forest function levels
passwordsettings - Sets password settings
samba3upgrade - Upgrade from Samba classic (NT4-like) database to
Samba AD DC database.
ERROR: No such subcommand 'provision'

####

A little background. Here is how i got to this point:

####

wget http://download.samba.org/samba/ftp/samba4/samba-4.0.0beta8.tar.gz
tar xzf samba-4.0.0beta8.tar.gz
cd samba-4.0.0beta8
cd source4
./configure
make
make install

####

Ta,

Ta,

you are using a very outdated version. Those days provision was done
in a different way.
Please follow https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_AD_DC_HOWTO
how to download and build a recent version.

Cheers, G?nter

Yes, thanks. I just noticed the ./sbin/provision and it's working now.

Sorry for the hassles.

Please notice, that since the release of samba-4.0.0, that version and
future ones are the only supported ones!

So i strongly recommend to upgrade to the released version!
