Would someone be so kind as to explain the differences between the sernet packages? Either that or point me to an internet resource that would explain it? What I'm trying to figure out is what packages to use to set up a full fledged member server in an existing samba4 domain with an existing DC. I want to be able to create a share on this server and then be able to manage it's permissions from a windows box using computer management. Also I'm hoping that the performance on this server will be faster than that of the domain controller. Currently this domain controller is serving files but I want to move that function to a dedicated box. Thanks, Rich
Hai, wel, best thing is.. if you have really big problems, you can buy support at sernet, and that is for companies very nice if you cant fix it yourself. and read : http://www.sernet.de/en/samba/enterprisesamba/ Louis>-----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- >Van: rwebb at zylatech.com [mailto:samba-bounces at lists.samba.org] >Namens Rich Webb >Verzonden: woensdag 28 januari 2015 3:37 >Aan: samba at lists.samba.org >Onderwerp: [Samba] Sernet Packages - description > >Would someone be so kind as to explain the differences between >the sernet packages?

Don't use the DC as a fileserver. Rowland> > Thanks, > Rich

And queries for a rationale behind this were rarely answered. Now there is only this sentence : We/*_do not recommend_*using the Domain Controller as a file Server. This is due to issues with the winbind internal to the Domain Controller. The recommendation is to run separate file orMember Servers <https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setup_a_Samba_AD_Member_Server>./ OK, so in fact the only reason is the poor internal winbind implementation, so this sentence won't be true after 4.2 release? In medium sized organizations with sparse small agencies around the country/world, having two boxes (either physical or through chroot) is not always an option so having the DC and the agency's fileserver merged makes sense.
