samba - Jul 2014 - guide to install samba

Hi

I have and old system with samba 3.0.3 and I will migrate to a new
server with debian jessie and samba 4. Im looking but Im not sure to
create the structure samba + ldap + cups a good howto. My idea is to
configure to use windows 7 how a clients. Any suggestions?

The only seems to be good

http://www.unixmen.com/setup-samba-domain-controller-with-openldap-backend-in-ubuntu-13-04/

but is for ubuntu and I don't know If it's the same for samba 4.

Thanks!

Hi, not sure what you are trying to achieve here, if you just want to 
upgrade samba and end up with a NT style PDC then you should be able to 
follow that post, but you probably should upgrade to an AD DC, NT style 
PDC's are extremely old and have not been really been supported by 
microsoft for some time and they may remove support at any time.

If you do decide to go for the AD DC, then the samba wiki will be your 
friend, or it would be if it wasn't down for maintenance ;-)

wel.. 

( when wiki is online again ) 

go and have a look here, its a nice starter. 
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/WIP/Beginner_HowTo_-_SOHO_business_server  

This is a nice starter. 
You can use debian wheezy but then you need to enable backports. 
( or use Jessie )  

For debian you have 5 choices. 

1) from source, ( but my personal opinion, dont compile on production servers. )

2) debian ( wheezy ) samba 3.6.6 
3) debian ( wheezy-backports ) samba 4.1.x from jessie 
4) sernet samba 4.1.x

5) and in you case samba from Jessie ( 4.1.x )

If you want full functions, then jessie is the only option, 
Cups as a bug, and because of that kerberos auth does not work right.  ( fixed
in jessie and above )
Squid has also some bugs, use squid 3.3.x from Jessie or above. 

all others, on wheezy no problem. 
I run for my DC's and members sernet samba 4.1.9 now. ( started with this
before samba 4.1 was in debian )
for my proxy, debian wheezy, with recompiled squid ( +ssl ) from jessie and
samba 4.1.x from wheezy-backports
for my webserver samba 4.1.x from wheezy-backports.
for my print server, debian jessie, with debian samba 4.1.x 
and my old server samba 3.6.6. from debian wheezy

so lots of choices, but this all works good. 
It's just a choice you have to make. 

But remember, Debian Jessie, is scary to upgrade, lots of changes are done in
Jessie,
and you can end up with a not working debian anymore after an upgrade. 
this is why only my print server is running Jessie, and now it works ok, i dont
upgrade it.
at least until jessie is the new stable, or its really needed, so make sure you
have good
backups if you go with Jessie. 

Best regards, 

Louis
