Everyday morning on my domain controller running samba 4.7.6-ubuntu winbind fails, If I try to run the command wbinfo -u (to list all users) I get the error

could not obtain winbind interface details: WBC_ERR_WINBIND_NOT_AVAILABLE
could not obtain winbind domain name!
Error looking up domain users

As per a question in the comments


sudo systemctl status winbind.service

  • Could you post the result of sudo systemctl status winbind.service – jrandiny Oct 21 '19 at 15:12

  • You should check /var/log/samba, and also post your /etc/samba/smb.conf file. And then try to join the domain one more time, and keep an eye on it. If this keeps happening, maybe somehow your machine is losing the domain credentials stored on disk. – Andreas Hasenack Oct 27 '19 at 16:52
  • My problem was I purged Samba... So I purged winbind too. Everything related to W****ws makes me shivering. – dentex Jan 05 '23 at 07:55
