I have been following the Chapter 9 on Samba -3 by example book on "How to
Migrate NT 4 domain to samba 3" and not having any luck at all. Somehow
the vampire command will not work and give me an error:
Fetching DOMAIN database
Failed to fetch domain database: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
What I want to accomplish is to remove Windows NT 4.0 server as PDC and
make Samba our Primary Domain Controller.
Also, I'm not sure if I have tdbsam setup correctly. How do you set it up
correctly? is there a command I should run or should I just edit smb.conf
file and add tdbsam? please see below for my smb.conf configuration.
# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = MyDomain

domain logons = no
I send an email to this list yesterday abd I thought I should email back to
remind everyone. I am a total newbie and would like much help is
possible. Thank you in advance.
FYI: As it stand, I have samba as our member server only and using it to
host filesharing. Our users login to the domain using domain accounts.
