Dear list, What is the best way to upgrade Samba that is an domain member in a W2k3 ADS environment? The procedure I use right now is like this: - stop the Samba daemons - verify the Samba databases - backup the Samba databases - "net ads leave" to leave the ADS realm - install new version of Samba - "net ads join -Uadministrator" to join the ADS realm - "net ads testjoin" to test if the join is Ok - start the Samba daemons The above procedure works fine, but I'm wondering if it is necessary to leave and join the ADS realm everytime when I upgrade Samba? -- Regards, Alex de Vaal.
