A company is migrating from an NT4-style domain to Active Directory. They currently run Samba as an NT4 PDC. The new AD domain is hosted on Windows Server 2019. The administrator wants to keep the Samba server as a file server but have it authenticate users against the new AD domain. Which configuration change is required?

Change `security = domain` and set `workgroup = AD`.

Keep the current configuration and add `winbind use default domain = yes`.

Change `security = user` to `security = ads`, set `realm = AD.EXAMPLE.COM`, and join the domain with `net ads join`.

Keep `security = user` and add `password server = dc.ad.example.com`.

A Samba server is configured with `wins support = yes`. A Windows client on the same subnet can access the Samba server by its NetBIOS name, but a Windows client on a different subnet cannot. Both subnets are routed. The Samba server's `interfaces` option is set to the local subnet only. What is the most likely reason the remote client cannot resolve the Samba server's NetBIOS name?

The Samba server's `interfaces` option prevents it from responding to WINS queries from other subnets.

The remote client is not configured to use the Samba server as its WINS server.

SMB1 is disabled, so NetBIOS name resolution is not available.

The Samba server is not running nmbd.
