Hi, I'm thinking of implementing Samba as a file and print server. But I have an Exchange on a PDC. Can they both coexist in a same network? What's the best way that I can implement this, so users can login and use Samba as their file/print server as well as use Exchange? Regards, Norman
Make the samba server a member of the Domain, and use Domain authentication to manage access to the file & print shares on it. The Exchange server is unaffected by samba, and vice versa, AFAIK. The (PC's) Outlook mail client may store Personal Folder/Address Books on the Samba file share (mapped drive), but the Exchange server wouldn't know/care about that.

Sure, it should work. You would need Winbind.
