Hi, I am stuck on upgrading the current Samba3 to Samba4, currently used Samba 3.3.10 and upgraded to Samba 3.4.17 still the same problems below. I also try to upgrade the Python 2.4.3 to Python 2.7 still same problems, with the OpenLDAP 2.3.43.

Hi, I used to successfully migrated Samba3 to Samba4 but there are some problems which I can't proceed coz it needs to be re-authenticated the computers/machines previously connected in Samba3. As I observed, using the Windows Remote Administration Tools (Active Directory Users and Computers) under the Computers, the computer name properties in General tab some entries are blanks a) DNS name

How do we check the data from Samba4 that the data from Samba3 successfully migrated? I dunno if it successfully migrated coz got these (last part): [root at gaara LiveData]# /usr/local/samba/bin/samba-tool domain classicupgrade --dbdir=/srv/LiveData/var_lib_samba/samba --use-xattrs=yes --realm=kazekage.sura.sandbox.local --dns-backend=SAMBA_INTERNAL /srv/smb.conf Once the above files are

Before I start beating my head against the wall, is there a howto someplace for joining a Samba4 member or BDC to a samba3 domain? Am I going about this all wrong? I most likely will update the PDC to samba 4 next summer due to the amount of automation we have to modify that leverages OpenLDAP. The LDAP server that comes with Samba4 seems kinda limited by comparison. In the meantime, cannot

Hello people, taken from http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/samba-bdc.html#minim-bdc > Can Samba Be a Backup Domain Controller to an NT4 PDC? > > No. The native NT4 SAM replication protocols have not yet been fully implemented. > > Can I get the benefits of a BDC with Samba? Yes, but only to a Samba PDC.The main reason for implementing a BDC is

Hi, I want to set up SaMBa PDC and BDC with LDAP. I read the TOSHARG2, but don't understand something: >Samba-3 cannot participate in true SAM replication and is therefore not able to employ >precisely the same protocols used by MS Windows NT4. A Samba-3 BDC will not create >SAM update delta files. Ok, I understand until that, but: >It will not interoperate with a PDC (NT4 or

Hi! I have to migrate a samba domain to an Active Directory and therefore I need as first step to have a NT4.0 BDC in my network. As I don't find an useful answer via google I want to ask you if a NT4 BDC will work in a Samba PDC enviroment? regards Martin

Hi, Is it possible to display the users of the trust domain using samba-tool? I tried however it only display on the current AD users or other any other hidden argument to use? samba-tool user list Thanks, Mario

Hello folks, The documentation for running Samba as a BDC clearly states that it is not operational with a Windows PDC [1], but this documentation covers Samba-3 and it was suggested in IRC by scooby2 that this functionality is now suported in Samba 4. Can anyone else confirm this? Should I use the documentation for Smaba BDC or is there more current documentation for this functionality?

Hi All! Thanks to all of you that responded to my previous posts. I've gotten a lot more info now than I used to have! But I still have questions. The biggest right now is: Is there a way build up a Samba PDC as a direct replacement for an existing Windows NT 4.0 PDC? All the material I've found to date is written from a standpoint of creating a new domain as you create the Samba

John, We previously corresponded on our testing of Samba 3.0.0 RC4. Since then, we have downloaded the Samba 3.0.0 Release version for testing with some interesting results. The Setup Major Networks: Solaris (NIS), Windows Native NT4 Domain Our Test Plan We are testing Samba 3.0 as a candidate for replacing the old NT4 Domain. Being a complex production networking environment, we replicated

Thanks Rowland! few answers to your question: 1) I used the samba-tool domain classicupgrade to "migrate" the domain for the pdc to a new Ubuntu server with sernet-samba-4.2.2 2) on the DC, I have configured the service to use the old winbind, as that's just enaugh for our domain and it looked more stable during the test phasethe smb.conf of the DC is the following: [global]

well, I have configured the kdc client on the file server, joined the domain using net ads join and it worked fine, again getnet group , getnet passwd , wbinfo -u they all works perfectlly fine I am also able to browse the shares from any windows machine joined to the CCDC domain, but I am still not able to do ANY mount.cifs, not even form linux boxes joined to the domain :-/ I have no idea

I have some more findings about this it looks like getent does not get the right information from the Domain Controller, in fact the domain user groups shows with NO member users: getent group | grep "domain users" domain users:x:10000: root at seadog:~# Now funny thing is that other folders for wwhich getent retrieves the users correctlly are mounted fine . any idea why I don t see

Good Day All I have a problem for our main fileserver base don samba 3.5.6 Let's give a bit of pregress first. We had a samba 3.5.6 installation which was acting as a PDC for our internal domian called CCDC. On a sapearate machine, we had another installation of samba 3.5.6 to act just as file share server. All was working ok, till I upgraded the PDC form samba 3.5.6 to samba 4.2.2 , using
