Hi,
With having so many issues (and being told we probably needed a new computer system for Samba) we purchased a new computer. Luckily we kept the old one which still has Samba running fine for now, but we cannot get Samba working on the new computer.
We followed the tutorial posted on the Samba website however never seen this error before - whether this is because it’s a fresh install or what we’re not sure.
I’ve also emailed Samba support, not sure which was was quickest we’d get a response on.
