 主题: [Bug 1048353] Re: provision crashed with InvalidNetbiosName inguess_names(): The name ''...-...'' is not a valid NetBIOS name

I found a workaround.
In my case the issue was the hostname containing dashes - and/or be longer than 15 characters.
Remove the dashes from your hostname and hosts file, reboot and samba4 should start.
I tried to reinstall then and run into the next bug, which is a password not complex enough error.
It's pretty broken.
