What version?

 

[YuriiV]

TrueNAS-12.0-U7

 

[anodos]

Okay. This was an issue in how RID values were generated. Will be fixed in 13 release (and is fixed in SCALE). Simple workaround if you get in this state:

rm /var/db/system/samba4/private/passdb.tdb
midclt call smb.synchronize_passdb -job

Thanks, it helped, the only thing to correctly re-create the file, I had to disable the SMB service

I have this same issue happening. Is this still the best way to handle it. Is there something we can do to avoid it when adding users?

If you're experiencing the issue you can fix it that way. 12.0-stable branch is basically security fixes only. 13-stable should have the issue addressed.
