Welcome

Welcome to the Ubuntu 16.04 ADDC Builder Wiki. Here you can find how to download the program, what is needed to run it and how to use the program.

Download

The program can be downloaded from: [http://phantomarts.ee/ADDCBuilder/ADDCBuilder-1.0-RELEASE.jar](Link URL)

To run the program you must have JRE 1.8 or later installed on the computer which is going to be running it. If you have all the dependencies then it should work if you double click the file or you can run it from the command line with:

java -jar ADDCBuilder-1.0-RELEASE.jar

Server set-up

NB! Any time you wish to build an Active Directory Domain Controller using Samba and Ubuntu Server I highly recommend starting with a blank Ubuntu 16.04 server. This program only works with the Ubuntu 16.04 version.

  • Download a server image from [http://www.ubuntu.com/server](Link URL).
  • Install the server on the machine or virtual machine you wish to use as an ADDC.
    • SSH server can be installed during the initial Ubuntu Server install however getting an updated version post install is recommended.
  • Install the krb5-user package. Enter anything as a realm as long as you keep using it with the server in the next prompts.
    • Enter the same server.realm for both server prompts.
  • Install additional configurations to your own pleasing.

Note: It is recommended to update packages and run upgrades prior to running the automated program as it does not post console messages in real time.

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

Creating an ADDC with the program.

  • Configure server according to the previous step.
  • Run program and enter the appropriate details, if you are confused about what to enter where hover over the fields with your cursor.
  • Press Create ADDC and wait, the set-up
