Hi all, This might be a silly question, but what is the best way to migrate an existing AD domain to promote Samba4 as the domain controller. Alex Ferrara Director Receptive IT Solutions P 0403 604 604 F (02) 4822 7700 E alex at receptiveit.com.au W www.receptiveit.com.au

Hi everyone, This is my first post to the list, although I am a long term user of Asterisk. I have recently found a problem that I just can't seem to solve. I have a client that has an Ubuntu x64 based Asterisk server with and ISDN Dahdi interface and about 25 SIP handsets. Everything was working fine in Asterisk 1.4 and now after migrating the config to Asterisk 1.6.2.5 I have one single

Hi all, I have a strange problem, and I can't seem to solve it. I have set up a Ubuntu 9.10 server with samba+kerberos to be an ADS member server. The PDC was a 2003 SBS server, and all was well. Recently I added a 2008 R2 server standard to the mix, and promoted it as a domain controller. Ever since I did this, the samba server stops working daily. I have updated to 3.4.7 out of the

Hi, I am using rsync to backup files. Is it possible to specify an option not to delete files from backup directory if the files are deleted from source? In that way, I can always keep something I may or may not need in the backup disk, but remove it from a work computer. Thank you. Kind Regards. hce

I am having some trouble creating a two-way domain trust account between Samba3 and Windows 2000 Server. The Windows 2000 server is an AD domain controller, and my Samba 3 server has an LDAP backend and is running on Ubuntu 9.04 64bit. Samba 3 is acting as the WINS server, and the Windows server has been pointed to the samba server for WINS in the TCP/IP settings on the network adapter.

I think I have narrowed this down even further. I have been working through getting rid of error messages in the logs, and I have updated Samba to 3.4.3. This might have fixed the issue, and I won't know for some time, but I can still see the following error appearing in the logs, which seems to line up with the core issue of machine trust accounts expiring.

Hi everyone, I am having some trouble with shared folders in trying to replicate how we use them with a Cyrus backend. The auth database is Samba4 active directory, so I am using an LDAP lookup to authenticate and forcing the UID and GID to be all the same. I have a post-login script that sets the group ACL, and this seems to be working fine. /mnt/mail is an NFS mount to a FreeNAS machine, and

I am having some trouble joining a new samba4 server as a DC. I am pretty sure this stems from trying to use OpenChange and subsequently removing it. The new samba4 machine is running 4.0.7 and the existing is running 4.0.1. I am a little hesitant to do an in-place upgrade of the last working DC, so I wanted a replica to fall back on in case things go bad. Any help would be appreciated. On the

Hello together, we try to setup a samba domain controller with LDAP and roaming profiles for Win7-Clients. Everything looks fine last Friday but today the clients did not longer save changes to the profiles. There is no error in samba log and also no in the windows log. If I delete a profile from a client it is loaded correctly at next logon, but the changes are not saved at logout. Windows XP

Hi everyone, What I want to achieve is to provision a new domain with the users, groups and group policy of an existing AD domain. Is this what I would use the vampire function for? Am I on the wrong track? Alex Ferrara Director Receptive IT Solutions

Hi everyone, I am in the middle of a migration from Cyrus 2.4 to Dovecot 2.1.7, and I have everything mostly working. I set up Dovecot to authenticate against Active Directory (Samba4) using PAM and SSSD, and have also used the fantastic cyrus2dovecot perl script to do a test migration of all our mail, and that is now working flawlessly. I have the issue of shared IMAP accounts to deal with, and

Hi folks, I have been using Samba4 as an Active Directory domain controller with many clients since about 2013, and it is the best. I have recently been asked to extend the AD domain in a clients office, to 6 other physical sites. Rather than reinvent the wheel, what is the best way to accomplish this given the current support in Samba4? Alex Ferrara Director Receptive IT Solutions

Hi guys, I thought I should send a quick email through to report my experience upgrading a Samba3 + OpenLDAP site to Samba4. I did lots of reading and had a bunch of howto documents, including the official one, at my disposal. I set up a shiny new Ubuntu 12.04 64bit virtual machine using OpenVZ and installed the samba4 packages out of http://ppa.launchpad.net/kernevil. I went through the

Hi everyone, I have a problem that hopefully has an easy solution. I am setting up an IMAP proxy in a DMZ network. It will connect to the real IMAP server and authenticate using "driver = imap", and this I have working really nicely. What I want to do is have it look up a list of users that are allowed to connect through the proxy before proxying the connection, as not all users with

I am running Windows 7 Professionaly 64-bit with domain membership to a Samba domain. I have noticed some weird behaviour. 1) For some reason, dhcp3-server does not add the forward dns entry into bind9. This works perfectly with Windows 7 if it is not a domain member, or other operating systems (XP, OS/X and Linux). I know this isn't specifically a Samba issue, but I thought I should mention

Hi everyone, I have been using rsync for years to perform off-site backups, and have recently come up with a problem that is starting to hurt my head. I am at the point where I am starting to think that there is a method to achieve my desired outcome that I cannot see. First, a bit of history. I usually just set up a script that runs many rsync commands in sequence to perform the desired

Hi all, Earlier I emailed the list on some issues I was having with Windows 7, and one of those issues was the trust relationship breaking down after one month. I think I have some more light to shed on this topic. First, some environmental facts I am running Ubuntu Karmic 9.10 with Samba 3.4.0-3ubuntu5.1 I have installed the latest LDAP schema into OpenLDAP 2.4.18-0ubuntu1 I have a working

Hi everyone, Samba4 has been going great for quite a while now, so I thought I would get a little adventurous. The goal is to install Openchange with SOGo. The SOGo part is fine, but Openchange extends the AD schema in a similar way that Exchange extends the AD schema. To facilitate this, I joined a new DC to the domain, and transferred the fsmo schema role to this new DC. When I say
