samba - Nov 2011 - Implement Samba4 AD

Hello,

in our two hospitals, with 700 PCs and 1200 Users, all our fileservers 
are samba 3. We don't have AD, but we have a domain based on openLDAP 
and samba.

We have to change to AD. Is samba4 stable enought to implement it, maybe 
in a samba3 fileserver / samba4 AD combination ?

Can we expect to get some support from the experts in this group ?

If I get a positive answer I will post more precise informations about 
our actuakl configuration.

Thank you very much
Andreas

Hello again,

why do you have to change to ADS?
And yes samba4 ADS is stable enough to do the job.
As to your needs you have to join your Samba3 machines to the new ads.
As far as I know there is meanwhile a tool in samba4 to vampire your samba3
nt-domain to samba4.
With SOGo/Openchange/Samba4 as addition you can have even your own Exchange
like server.

Good Luck
Daniel

Because it is hard to manage 700 PCs without grpup policies.

we have many other applications ( imp/horde, MRBS, squid and many more ) 
that authenticate against openLDAP.

For us it is very importatn that that continues to work.
