Hi Everybody, I've been asked to upgrade an old NT4 server with a new server running Debian/Samba. I've got no problem with migrating the old server, but I do have one "unknown". The company mail run on an Exchange server that is most likely part of the NT4 network. Has anybody tried this setup? I did look in documentation and google and found precious little - which to me indicates that it might not be a problem at all (or nobody is running Exchange). -- Lars

Would it be possible to configure this setup so Exchange automatically create email accounts to valid and active users in the network - or would they have to be manually created on the Exchange server. -- Lars
Hi there. We're running Exchange 5.5 SP4 on top of Win2k/NT4 in a samba 3.0.14a+LDAP domain. We had problems with a previous version of samba when installing Exchange's SP4 , but it has been fixed. Right now, we're running 7 Exchange servers over a wan, and everything is smooth as ice. Advice: Unless your migrating all domain accounts, mantaining SID's and so on, ackup your mail accounts, and reinstall the server. In fact even if maintining all accounts I would advice reinstalling the server, as MS Exchange doesn't really like big changes at domain level.
