I had previously tried to migrate our PDC to a new machine by simply copying the config over and such. That failed miserably but luckily the various home servers (BDC's in samba speak I think) took up the slack. So after much debate, this weekend we moved the PDC back to the original machine. We never moved LDAP off of the original machine, as only samba functions moved. I now know I did

Hello, Currently our mail server is setup to use postfix and dovecot, which is fine except it is setup to use mbox format mail. That and procmail as we need to move to sieve but that is a different issue. I have searched until blue in the face and cannot find a 100% working solution that doesn't require alot of manual interaction to move the mail boxes from mbox to maildir. I have

We are migrating all of our users from the current domain to a new one we created. In this process we are moving them from roaming profiles to local. What would be the best practice to accomplish this? I can find plenty of writeups on how to do the opposite. Also we will be doing some extra folder redirection. Currently we only redirect their my documents to the server. On the new system we plan

Dear *, I''m more used to work with RedHat like OSes. Still, I did not denied the request from a user who wants a domU based on ubunto. I usually use virt-install to do the job, with a script similar to this one: #!/bin/sh BASE=SL-4.7-i386-pv \ virt-install --nographics \ --nonsparse \ --paravirt \ --noreboot \

We are currently using samba and openLDAP to enable our users to have roaming profiles on our domain network. We have one primary domain controller and 7 "home servers" at the various locations that serve the profiles and such. The problem is that randomly various users are unable to load their profile and windows just gives them a temporary profile. This mostly happens on vista

We recently migrated our install from an ancient fedora 11 install of samba and openldap to a centos 6.3 setup with its openldap and samba. The domain has been totally recreated from scratch as the person that did the previous setup has not been employed here in many years. After fighting with shares for a while we mostly got them fixed and working. However the biggest issue now is when our GIS

Hello all, We have just concluded a very drawn out test of our domain that is having some trust relationship problems with Windows 7 desktops. Here is a breakdown of our setup: roark PDC running samba 3.4.7 (also has OpenLDAP) on VLAN 2 archives3 BDC running samba 3.4.7 (also has OpenLDAP) on VLAN2 arrowhead BDC "home server" running samba 3.4.3 on VLAN 9 archives4 BDC

I am looking to move our current Samba primary domain controller to a new machine. The current machine is EOL, running Fedora 11 (old), and had way too many services on it to start with (mail, dns, samba, mysql replication, primary ldap, etc). I am looking to move to a Xen domu with either Fedora 13 or Centos 5.5. What my question is is this: what should I look for when I migrate the samba

We are looking to migrate from our current mail server running dovecot-1.2.11-3 to a new mail server running the latest dovecot (2.0.9?). So this would not only be a version change but also a machine change. We currently use Maildir for storing mail and would like to stay that way. Has anyone preformed such a feat and it worked? Looking for any input.

Hello, I would like to convert all users mail from maildir to mdbox. My Dovecot version is 2.0.1, converted from 1.2.13 but config was rewritten from scratch. http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/MailFormat says following: maildir -> mdbox migration. Set mail_location=mdbox:~/mdbox and run doveadm convert -u username maildir:~/Maildir but doveadm does not know a command like

I have a server roark (fedora core 5 with samba 3.0.23a-1.fc4.1) with a home directory awilliam. I'm trying to mount it on my linux workstation (fedora core 5, samba 3.0.23a-1.fc5.1). On my workstation I do: mount -t cifs "//roark/awilliam" /mnt/roark-awilliam/ -o username=awilliam,password=xxxxxx and when I cd to /mnt/roark-awilliam, ls works, but if I cat a file I get the

Hello all. I am in need of some guidance. First a little background. Currently our mail server is on physical hardware (Dell server with 2x 2.8GHz Xeon w/ 4GB ram, raid5 array, single gigabit nic) running on Fedora 11 and postfix-2.5.6-3.fc11.x86_64 with dovecot-1.2.11-3.fc11.x86_64. Mailstore is via Maildir format that was converted from mbox about a year ago. This same machine is also our PDC

Dear Michael, I just have the same problem you have with samba 2.2.3a on a Suse 8.0 machine and win xp pro. Besides I performed all the steps below. >From my postings I learned that the prob might have something to do with a wrong mapping in smbusers file. It seems to me that the workstation account is mapped to user nobody. Up to now I was not able to solve the prob. Do you have any ideas

I am having a problem getting users that were added in smbldap-useradd to be able to login. After I add them they are visible, but you can see I get this error - pdb_get_group_sid: Failed to find Unix account for test10 I believe that this has something to do with nss_ldap. because doing a getent passwd, it doesn't display any smb info. Any debugging info or help would be amazing, I'm

I have read over the lists and search the web, I know this question has been asked before, but I've not been able to fix my problem so I'll ask here. I have been successful in joining the XP machine to the domain however it when I try to login to the domain windows instantly kicks up the message: "Windows cannot connect to the domain, either because the domaincontroller is down or

Hi everybody, after many weeks of searching/trying, I still can't manage to get vista to use/save roaming profiles with samba as PDC... It has apparently worked a few times in the beginning since the profiles directories are populated. Could it be related to a Vista update or SP1? Here's what I did so far: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System]

My Windows XP SP3 clients aren't loading their logged_in_username.bat from my netlogon share, and I can't figure out why. It looks like in the log file the Windows PCs are loading the script, its just not executing it on the windows PCs for some reason, but if I click start, run, and type in \\roark\netlogon\scripts\jholland.bat it runs fine. Running samba 3.0.31 and here's the
