I have made cleaning of AD database and suddenly I have moved much further
in vampire process. I have got all users and hosts imported, most of group
membership done, but still:
Creating unix group: 'Cert Publishers'
Creating unix group: 'RAS and IAS Servers'
Failed to fetch DOMAIN database: NT_STATUS_SYNCHRONIZATION_REQUIRED
I think there must be something wrong with AD or Import process doesn't
handle national characters well. As you see process is stoping on Cer
Publichers and RAS and IAS Servers group creation. Thne I checked my
OpenLdap database I saw, that 'Cert Publishers' group is created, but it
has
only Top and PosixGroup ObjectClasses, no Samba related stuff. The same is
with 'RAS and IAS Servers' group. But there are two other objects in
Group
tree, with
DN=sambaSID=S-1-5-21-1376040910-2644421868-2724539926-517,ou=Group,o=Publicum,dc=infosaitas,dc=lt,
and object classes of SambaRidEntry and SambaGroupMapping, and with
attributes which are missing in 'Cert Publishers' group.
It seems, that thes two groups mentioned above have been splited in two
parts - one with posixAccount info and the other with SambaAccount info.
This is probably the problem.
Has anybody any ideas what is going on?
Can I delete those two groups in AD (they have no members)? I'm importing
data from production server, but this server is going to be switched off
just after migration. So i wonder if there will be any problems in short
term, because I don't care in long term.
