similar to: NT4-Samba Migration Test Results

Hello all, I hope this is an easy one, I've read all the howtos but I'm still very hazy on how to do this. What I want to do is replace my NT4 PDC with a Samba 3.0 PDC with an LDAP backend. I've got my OpenLDAP up and running with the basic People, Computers and Groups ou's. I've put the builtin NT groups in too. I have Samba 3.0 functioning as a BDC The trouble is

Hello According to NT4 Migration Using tdbsam Backend http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/ntmigration.html#id2604610 I would like to transfer PDC settings (users,groups sids) to BDC and later make from BDC PDC machine. I have Fedora Core 7 PDC(hostname serwer) and Centos 5.4 BDC (hostname serwer2) both on tdbsam backends. I have copied smb.conf, passwd,group,shadow,secrets.tdb files

I've seen this posting before but I need to get a grasp on this. I am using winbindd for users that don't have a local account on a Linux box. I thought that placing the entries below in the smb.conf would create users in ou=Idmap. Instead the ou=Idmap increments the uidNumber with every user that is added,but the user ID mappings are stored in /usr/local/var/locks/winbindd_idmap.tdb. What

I am replacing an old NT4.0 Server with a debian 4.0R1 etch Linux server (samba 3.0.24). This was with a completely fresh install of debian. My smb.conf is pretty simple: [global] workgroup = BUTLER netbios name = STAR3 passdb backend = tdbsam domain master = No domain logons = Yes os level = 33 add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -m '%u' delete

I've gone back to 3.0.1 to try and get winbind to work with my Solaris 9 machine and NT4 domain. Everything works except user authentication. The wbinfo and getent commands do what they are supposed to. I've included a truss of 'su - ganguly' According to pamlog, the user 'ganguly' has been granted access but it is still hanging. How do I do a truss of a telnet login?

Just a quick question, it may sound a bit stupid but I just want to make sure. I have a Solaris 9 machine running winbind, the backend is an OpenLDAP database running on a RedHat 9 machine. My question is, apart from the 'smbpasswd -w' command and the obvious stuff in smb.conf, do I have to set up the LDAP client on Solaris for Samba to be able to put new mappings into the LDAP database?

I'm helping out a small office upgrade their NT 4 PDC to Samba. It's a small office of 6 people, so tdbsam is being used. They keep having tape backup issues and other problems, so one of the reasons for the Samba migration is to allow me to SSH into their box and remotely administer it from home on evenings/weekends. Currently I'm testing the move using two dummy machines, and

Ok folks, here goes: We have an old NT4 machine that we wish to replace as the PDC on our network. In it's place, we've got a dual xeon box with Mandrake LE2005 and Samba 3.0.13-2 and I'm currently trying to draw the accounts over with vampire. I'm using tdbsam as a backend. I've been through several readme's and howto's and have created all the UNIX accounts,

Hi, I have searched for days on Google and can't find a clear answer to my question. I have a NT4 PDC which I am migrating to Samba 3 (Version 3.4.2-47.fc12) on FC12 with kernel(2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686). I am using tdbsam as my passdb backend. I setup Samba as a BDC and then joined to NT4 Domain succesfully. When I go to vampire the accounts I get lots of errors and some user accounts get

__________________ Hi all, I've configured samba 3.0 as a domain memeber in NT 4.0 domain. Server has been added to the domain, without any problems, BUT, for three days...., I'm not able to find a way how to use NT domain resourses for this samba server. I can list domain users and groups with "wbinfo" command from but "getent passwd" lists only the local

Hello I am running a net work with a NT4PDC a NT4 BDC and attent to add samba BDC. I am following the brief section 28 of the Samba-Howto collection for samba head/3.0. * Adding the samba server as a BDC from NT server manager seems OK * Getting, recording domain sid is ok (see below) > rpcclient NT4PDC -U Administrator password: > lsaquery domain IMAGERIE has sid blablabla > net

For the last few years, we have had a NT4 PDC (without a BDC). This week I undertook the process of builing a Samba BDC running Debian linux. This new BDC is running samba version 3.0.7. After setting up the box, I copied all of the user, group, and machine accounts over to the new bdc, using "net rpc vampire". The BDC is up and running and I see everybody authenticating against it.

Greetings everyone I finally succeeded in doing the seemingly most difficult thing, "following directions." I got my act together configuring the smb.conf and migrating using net rpc vampire into tdbsam. There are issues with this migration in which computer netbios names which are obviously all uppercase were not being created in /etc/passwd. I put my C cap on and converted the computer

So finally I got the net vampire to work. I had to roll back to commit 62e0a74 bypassing all the updates done by mdw at samba.org for now. Now the replication PDC1 is the first domain controller created by provision PDC2 is the second is the second domain controller created by net vampire on PDC1 I added user using "net newuser testuser1" in few seconds it appeared on PDC2 using the

Can anybody give me a hint how to set up Samba BDC(RedHat 9.0) with rsync-ing WIN-NT PDC so that if WIN-NT PDC is down all the clients can still get Authentication service from Samba BDC(RedHat 9.0). i have seen in Samba documentation that it can be done using rsync but nowhwere it is clearly explained howto do it.. I ran out of gas by looking through google also... :-( With Best Regards YS

This could be quite simple but I don't know how to do it. Does anyone know how I can automatically mount a users home drive (which is located on a windows server) when they log in? Is there a pam module for that? Thanks very much, Sapan

Hello and good day, we're in the middle of migrating an old samba (3.0.11) pdc server, to a new server (3.0.23d) i thought i could do a NET VAMPIRE to make the new server sync with the old one. but ofcoz' that doesn't work (NT error code 0x1c010002) is there an other way to make these servers sync ? ea. can I do pdbedit -e tdbsam:/dump.tdb on the old server, and pdbedit -i

I currently have a pure samba domain running off a Suse 9.1 machine. When I installed this domain I wasn't really comfortable with linux or LDAP so I used a tdbsam password file, and as there are only 30 or so users it seemed the way to go in the small amount of time I had available. Well, now I want to add a BDC to the mix I find I need to move to an LDAP backend. I only have two boxes at

Hi all, linux:~ # net rpc join -S sun -W SOLARSYS -U admin Joined domain SOLARSYS. linux:~ # net rpc vampire -S sun -U admin Fetching DOMAIN database Failed to fetch domain database: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED What is wrong? Any idea? Regards, Roland ps: SUN is my NT4 PDC, SOLARSYS is the DOMAIN name.

I've done the net rpc vampire and gotten all the user and machine accounts from the NT server, I've test logged in, checked permissions, set groups, tested some of our odd apps and it all looks good. The problem I'm having is switching the desktops, and keeping the (non-roaming) profiles. I'd like to have it so everyone reboots their computer after the Samba switch over, and then
