...o enable LDAP for access control on the SAMBA server, which they already are using in the States. All things were set to go, and signed off when just before I stated building the systems the head office called and said they didn't want a SAMBA PDC as they where worried about compatibility with Win200x servers. The caveat is that they want all users to be able to access both domains and share all resources. Now I realize the are a few ways to do this, and I've successfully built similar systems with SAMBA and NT4 DCs. However their sticking point is Win2003, they are worried about present an...

Hi all, it is possible that converting the NT4 PDC to Win200x Active Directory. And converting to OpenLDAP directory? Does such an converter exist? Thanks, Roland

Is possible to store the Group Policy Container (GPC) on a OpenLDAP? Is possible to store the Group Policy Template (GPT) on a Samba share?

Hello, when I try to rename a win200x/XP client joined in a Samba domain, I get an error (Access is denied), although the user I put in the dialog box has privilege to do it. In LDAP log I see that Samba does first a search with the old machine name, after it does a search with new machine name, but the entry does not exists on LDA...

Hello all, My network is configured like this: - a local network, with Windows Domain - a DMZ network for our servers We communicate between both by proxyarp. Because we need to share folders with our servers in DMZ, these servers are using samba. We have any problems to shared folders with them; ie calling them by their IP address, EXCEPT that netbios name of our servers in DMZ aren''t
