Samba Domain Stopped Working on Windows 11 - 2024 - Not Fixed Yet

Question

Hi,

There are a lot of information about the Samba Domain Controller stopping working on Windows 11. There are information since 2022 that has no resolution yet. I would appreciate to know if in 2024 someone has a solution or workaround for that. I brief of the issue below:

I am facing exactly the same problem here and it is certainly a problem with Windows updates. At first it was possible to delete latest updates in 22h2 and 23h2 versions, just delete the updates in the windows update options and restart the computer to have it working again with samba4 domain. However something really weird is happening now. When I delete the updates and set windows updates as off, when I restart the computer it updates anyway and I can never remove them. I tried remove with powershell since there is a possibility to do so but nothing seems to work anymore. Windows 11 just keep resulting in "trust relationship between this workstation and the domain fails".

I think I have tried everything that was possible. Update samba version, enable and disable Kerberos DES options in Local policies. The only way to login to the domain is using a different Windows version like 7 or 10 which works perfectly. Problem is that all licences here is for Windows 11.

Hope Microsoft fixes it soon.

Anyone has find a solution for this problem? Tnx
