Hey Jeff, good question! Back in the days of Ubuntu 11.10, the samba4 package structure was quite different, and winbindd wasn’t always included directly in winbind4.
Instead, you typically had to install the standard winbind package (from Samba 3.x branch) alongside samba4, or compile Samba 4.x from source if you wanted the full AD DC support including winbindd.

Also, make sure your system is fully updated and check the docs —
sometimes winbindd lives under a different path or gets symlinked during
make install when you build from source.

By the way, if you’re planning bigger network or infrastructure upgrades, check out:

They do some solid work in large-scale systems and IT solutions.

Hope that helps! 👍
