Installation and Upgrades / eBox .11.2 PDC part looks broken

Hi Everyone,

Anyone else had a problem with a clean install of 0.11.2 and joining PCs to the Samba PDC ? I have a working setup of 0.10 .When I try to join my 0.11.2 PDC the client can't find the PDC but with my 0.10 PDC it works 100%.

Used nbtstat -A {eBox_ip_address} and got the following <snipped> results.

eBox 0.11.2
           NetBIOS Remote Machine Name Table

       Name               Type         Status
    ---------------------------------------------
    SERVER3        <00>  UNIQUE      Registered
    SERVER3        <03>  UNIQUE      Registered
    SERVER3        <20>  UNIQUE      Registered
    ..__MSBROWSE__.<01>  GROUP       Registered
    EBOX           <00>  GROUP       Registered
    EBOX           <1C>  GROUP       Registered
    EBOX           <1E>  GROUP       Registered

eBox 0.10
           NetBIOS Remote Machine Name Table

       Name               Type         Status
    ---------------------------------------------
    SERVER4        <00>  UNIQUE      Registered
    SERVER4        <03>  UNIQUE      Registered
    SERVER4        <20>  UNIQUE      Registered
    ..__MSBROWSE__.<01>  GROUP       Registered
    EBOX4          <00>  GROUP       Registered
    EBOX4          <1B>  UNIQUE      Registered
    EBOX4          <1C>  GROUP       Registered
    EBOX4          <1D>  UNIQUE      Registered
    EBOX4          <1E>  GROUP       Registered

The magic item missing from 0.11.2 is "<1B>  UNIQUE      Registered" which fits some of the info listed here.
Also, I used WireShark to check the traffic between the client and eBox. The client is doing a netbios name query for the Domain <1B>, which it can't find due to the missing <1B> not been advertised by eBox. Hopefully, this can be confirmed soon and fixed

The project looks promising and Thanks for the effort so far eBox Guys !

Best Regards,
