  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Samba after update

Regular Pleskian
Hello,

running Ubuntu 14 LTS I got an update of Samba. According to my logwatch it was with the following Versions:

python-ldb:amd64 1:1.1.16-1 => 1:1.1.16-1ubuntu0.1
python-samba:amd64 2:4.1.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2.14.04.9 => 2:4.1.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2.14.04.11
samba-common-bin:amd64 2:4.1.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2.14.04.9 => 2:4.1.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2.14.04.11
samba-common:all 2:4.1.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2.14.04.9 => 2:4.1.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2.14.04.11
samba-dsdb-modules:amd64 2:4.1.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2.14.04.9 => 2:4.1.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2.14.04.11
samba-libs:amd64 2:4.1.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2.14.04.9 => 2:4.1.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2.14.04.11
samba-vfs-modules:amd64 2:4.1.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2.14.04.9 => 2:4.1.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2.14.04.11
samba:amd64 2:4.1.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2.14.04.9 => 2:4.1.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2.14.04.11

After that I have a Problem with the Samba-Plesk-Tool. It is shown as active and when I try to deactivate it it says that it is already deactive. But the Screen still Shows it as active. And I can connect but have not the correct rights:

The smb.cfg is exactly the same as before the update.

What to do?

Best regards.
 
So, I tried to uninstall the Fileserver via Autoinstaller and reinstal it. During configuration I got this error when creating the user:

Fehler: FileServerUser::update() failed: FileServerManager::add_user() failed: Unable to add user: filesrvmng failed: filesrvmng: /usr/bin/smbpasswd execution failed:
Failed to open /var/lib/samba/private/secrets.tdb
filesrvmng: Error during execute '/usr/bin/smbpasswd -a -n root'

but the user was shown. I tried to Change the Password and this seems to work. I got an okay.

But when I try to start the Server I get the following error:

ERROR: PleskFatalException: FileServerManager::start() failed: Unable to start fileserver: filesrvmng failed: filesrvmng: Service /etc/init.d/smbd failed to restart
filesrvmng: Service /etc/init.d/nmbd failed to restart


Additionally, an exception has occurred while trying to report this error: PleskUserException
Unable to create FileServerManager object: Unable to start fileserver: filesrvmng failed: filesrvmng: Service /etc/init.d/smbd failed to restart
filesrvmng: Service /etc/init.d/nmbd failed to restart
