Hi List, I?ve got a tricky task set out for me. We?re using CentOS 4.8 as a Samba Domain Controller (3.0.33) yes I know it?s ancient,but it?s solid. I need to update this to a version that will support Windows7 work stations using domain security. I?m pretty sure I can bring the Samba versions up to 3.3.12 (I?ll be performing the task on a virtual machine as a test) but here?s my question. In the past concerning a domain controller I?ve noticed that it takes a substaintial period of time for the domain to recognize the freshly built domain controller. Is there something that I can do to decrease this time? Thanks! _________________________________________________________________ The New Busy is not the old busy.
