[Samba] NT Domain to Samba-LDAP just disabling netlogon on NT PDC?
Hi group Quick question before I switch my domain from NT4 PDC to Samba-LDAP: Can I leave the old NT-PDC in my subnet, if I just disable it's netlogon service? Reason: This old NT-Server has a database running which is still needed after the migration to samba, but it doesn't need to have any NETBIOS-NTDomain functionality after the switch, just TCP-IP. I know of third-party tools like UPromote, but if I can avoid them, I think this is a much easier and transparent way of doing it.
