Access the Red Hat server on Window Domain network

My Red hat server could access my Window Domain netowrk and the shared folder. However, is it possible to archieve a shared folder from Window machine to the Red Hat server. I could ping the red hat server using the host name (redhat.abc.com) from any Window machine. But I couldn't connect to the server from Run command (\\redhat.abc.net). However to enable the reverse way of access, from Window to Linux ??



Thanks

Thanks,

Instead of create another samba account in Red Hat, can we simplfiy use the Window domain credential to access the share folder on Red Hat ?

Thanks

DO NOT change workgroup in smb.conf this would screw up your WinBind Configuration.

The expert above might not know that you have joned your machine to AD

Add the following under smb.conf
  path =/home/ABCompany/public
  writeable = yes
  browseable = yes
  valid users = demo

User could see the folder public but when it connect, it ask for password. Use the domain password or the new smb user, I still couldn't log through.

Any advise ?

@Small Student, thanks for the note, I just provided a quick way of sharing files inside his RedHat server.

My assumption was he just wanted to have the share, in any case if he joined it to the domain it should work else, the setup was not correct then he will need  to look at the configuration of joining it to the domain first. If all is well then he should be able to connect using AD credentials.
