[Samba] Recommended howto/guide for installing samba4 on ubuntu 12.04?
Most of what I've found involves installing from source, which I'm not opposed to for a pilot install but for production I would rather use the distro packages or sernet. Or is this nuts/shortighted/ignorant? At any rate, I'm looking for a good guide for getting it set up as an AD controller, and then migrating my existing samba3+openLDAP+autofs setup to the new platform. Having too many issues trying to get win7/8 clients to play nice with samba3. Samba by example is what I used for my existing environment, great, phenomenal guide, but there does not seem to be anything analogous for Samba4.

Just install the packages instead of compiling the sources. Only the pathes may differ. Just follow the HowTo: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_AD_DC_HOWTO Davor wrote a HowTo about a SOHO Server based on Ubuntu: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/WIP/Beginner_HowTo_-_SOHO_business_server I haven't proofreaded and moved it to it's final place yet. But the you could directly validate if it works and give feedback. ;-)> At any rate, I'm looking for a good guide for getting it > set up as an AD controller, and then migrating my existing > samba3+openLDAP+autofs setup to the new platform.https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_Classic_Upgrade_%28NT4-style_domain_to_AD%29 We currently have nothing about autofs in the Wiki. But it would be great if you provide some feedback or a tutorial, we can put into the Wiki.> Having too many issues trying to get win7/8 clients > to play nice with samba3.Do you mean issues with Samba version 3 or Samba as a NT4-style domain? If you only have issues with the old version, then simply upgrade your machines to 4.1. Samba 4 does not require to migrate to AD.> Samba by example is what I used for my existing environment, > great, phenomenal guide, but there does not seem to > be anything analogous for Samba4.The best source currently is the Wiki: http://wiki.samba.org http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/User_Documentation Regards, Marc
