Hi all, after the news that samba 4 is now supporting user lockouts after bad password attempts we need to plan our roadmap on migrating from Samba 3 to samba 4. We currently have Samba version 3.0.7-1.3E.1 installed with (passwd) database as a backend. I would appreciate if anyone can guide me on the migration process. Our old server Centos 4.4 Samba 3.0.7 (Master browser) Our new server Centos 6.5 Samba 4 (DC/AD) Any guidelines on how the migration would work. We have not implemented roaming profiles on the old setup and we are not planning on implementing roaming profiles on the new system ether. My main concerns are: We want to change the (domain name) which user's login to and don't want anything to happen with their current profiles on their PC's. (Is this advisable to change the domain name or must the domain name stay the same?) This is the internal domain the users select when they log into their PC's. So the plot thickens. How do we get the samba3 profiles onto the samba4 domain with as little changes to the user setup on their PC's? What I mean by profiles is the local profile of the user on the local PC... not roaming profiles... I know by experience that if something happens to samba3's use account then it messes up the local profile on the PC and I am trying to avoid this when I migrate to samba4 Any help mush appreciated.
