similar to: NT4 Migration Question

Are you sure of that ? I thought it was possible... If it is not, I've got another slightly off topic question : how to I demote my former Windows NT PDC (that is now a BDC) to a normal Windows NT server, so that I have no problem with it ?

Hello All, I'm looking for some advice \ shared past experiences of users on the list. I am in the process of planning a migration from an existing NT Domain to a Samba 3 / LDAP based domain. However, the existing NT4 PDC is also home to our Exchange 5.5 email server which we would like to keep in service. I imagine what i need to do is add the old NT4 PDC server to the new Samba Domain once i

Hi, When installing Samba, I made it a PDC in a new domain. Now I would like the old NT4 PDC in the old domain to become a plain host in my Samba domain. Is this possible? I need to keep the old NT4 machine because it's running the Symantec Corporate Edition NAV. In other words, I have NEWDOMAIN with Samba PDC and all clients OLDDOMAIN with NT4 PDC alone, no client Can my NT4 PDC become

Thanks But this is for demoting a PDC to a BDC. I've done that already. What I want to demote my BDCs to standalone server. I'll give a try to upromote.

Running Samba 2.28 on a SuSE Linux Pro 9.0 system, equipped with VMware Workstation 4. A Windows 2000 Pro guest OS is installed in VMware. Printing from the W2K OS doesn't work. I was able to add the printer as a network printer OK (it appears as a network printer when using My Network Places to browse to the Linux Samba server), but the printer status reads Access Denied, Unable to Attach

OK, I've solved all of my previous permissions issues, now I just need to get the output out. Setup: SuSE 9.0 Pro running Samba 2.2.8a. VMware installed with Windows 2000 Pro guest OS. Epson C84 attached via USB prints fine from Linux with CUPS and also via the commandline using smbclient > print. With data shares, I have no problems. Problem: Print jobs from Windows 2000 never get

I'm trying to decommission our PDC which is running on some older hardware and migrate it's functionality to one of our two currently operating BDCs for the domain. The three servers have nearly identical configurations with only differences in file and printer shares and a couple attributes like "wins support" and "domain master". They all have identical netlogon

Hi group Quick question before I switch my domain from NT4 PDC to Samba-LDAP: Can I leave the old NT-PDC in my subnet, if I just disable it's netlogon service? Reason: This old NT-Server has a database running which is still needed after the migration to samba, but it doesn't need to have any NETBIOS-NTDomain functionality after the switch, just TCP-IP. I know of third-party tools

Running SuSE 9.2. This problem happens with both the SuSE-supplied Samba on the DVD, as well as the SuSE update rpms to 3.0.9. We even removed all the *.tdb files and recreated the installation from scratch, as always carefully following the steps in S3BE. FWIW, this same config worked previously on this and earlier systems; we did not change anything on this system (other than applying YOU

Trying to follow Chapter 9.3.3 of S3BE to create a SuSE 8.2 Active Directory domain member server. 9.3.3 says heimdal >= .6 is required. I installed the Sernet packages and saw 0.6.2 source is included. Running ./configure after unpacking the heimdal source completes OK, but running make results in the following errors: creating libss.la /usr/bin/sed: can't read

Hi! I have to migrate a samba domain to an Active Directory and therefore I need as first step to have a NT4.0 BDC in my network. As I don't find an useful answer via google I want to ask you if a NT4 BDC will work in a Samba PDC enviroment? regards Martin

Main problem is that >>they're running an old custom Outlook/Exchange workflow app which locks them in until it can be replaced. Similar situation - though we've been able to replicate it fairly easily in google apps. >>As you're aware newer then XP cannot join an NT4 domain

Been working with Samba back to 1.9 or so, but this is the first time I've tried to set it up as a domain member server. I followed (I think) the instructions on how to do this in TOSHARG (which are about as disjointed as the book, which I took back), but I continue to be unable to get the box, running winbind, to reliably authenticate users off the PDC, which is running NT4 (and I'm not

I have an NT4 PDC that I would like to replace with a Samba server. My network also has a box running MS Exchange and Backoffice (not the same box as the PDC). What's the general roadmap for doing this? Could I install Samba as a BDC and then promote it. Should I create a new domain on Samba and do a big cutover? Or is there a way to just get the necessary info off the PDC and then

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

Hi all. I'm having a strange intermittent problem with Samba 2.2.8a losing connectivity with our PDC and BDC. We are currently having a problem with our PDC restarting due to a bug check about 2-3 times a month. When this happens and the PDC is restarted or anytime it is restarted, we are not able to map shares on any of our 5 servers using samba 2.2.8a - the fix is to kill smbd and nmbd

Harry, Thank you. Unfortunately we don't have the choice of upgrading LDAP due to distro not supporting the newer version. However we have managed to get it to work. A lot of fiddling around. I do have another question though ;). Now that we have LDAP replicating, how do I transfer the "samba classic " PDC role to our BDC. I have read that using the domain master=yes in smb.conf

I've been running a NT4-style domain with a samba 3.x PDC using a LDAP back end and it's mostly worked very will for a long time. However since yesterday, clients are having problems with the domain. I saw that updates came out on all my systems - my PDC and BDC are ubuntu 12.04 LTS. The samba version there still seems to be 3.6x. A client with a problem that was working is Ubuntu

Setting up a temporary Samba Member Server as part of a domain with real NT4 PDC and BDC machines. In two months the NT domain will go away to be replaced by Samba/LDAP PDC and BDCs, but for now I'm stuck using Winbind. Actually, I'm just stuck! The Samba box is running SuSE 9.0 and Samba 3.0.4-5 installed from the SerNet rpms (ftp.sernet.de). I followed chapter 9.3.2 in Samba-3 By
