I got the same trouble with my vanilla Ubuntu 14.04 installation. Samba4 AD DC is not working properly after system reboot when ipv6 is enabled.
Snipped from /var/log/syslog: Sep 3 12:05:08 ubuntu samba[986]: [2014/09/03 12:05:08.864745, 0] ../source4/cldap_server/cldap_server.c:134(cldapd_add_socket) Sep 3 12:05:08 ubuntu smbd[982]: You should start 'samba' instead, and it will control starting smbd if required Sep 3 12:05:08 ubuntu samba[986]: Failed to bind to ipv6:XXXX:XX:XXX:XXXX:XXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:389 - NT_STATUS_ADDRESS_NOT_ASSOCIATED Sep 3 12:05:08 ubuntu samba[986]: [2014/09/03 12:05:08.877964, 0] ../source4/smbd/service_task.c:35(task_server_terminate) Sep 3 12:05:08 ubuntu samba[986]: task_server_terminate: [cldapd failed to setup interfaces] Is there a upstart signal which is emitted after a successful ipv6 interface configuration? Samba4 DC is working when I login into the system and restart the service via initctl. I hope this helps.... tlapawa@ubuntu:~$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
