similar to: NT4 to Samba 3 Migration

John, We previously corresponded on our testing of Samba 3.0.0 RC4. Since then, we have downloaded the Samba 3.0.0 Release version for testing with some interesting results. The Setup Major Networks: Solaris (NIS), Windows Native NT4 Domain Our Test Plan We are testing Samba 3.0 as a candidate for replacing the old NT4 Domain. Being a complex production networking environment, we replicated

After migration of an NT4 domain to Samba we find that when users log in they have a new profile. Since we cannot deal with this on all of the computers with all of the users we have had to stop the migration. I have searched through the archive and not been able to find any answers to this issue, I did find a relevant article though and apparently they didn't have an answer in 2002.

A client has an existing NT4 domain with several NT4 servers. Two of the NT4 Servers function as a PDC and a BDC. We are installing Samba-3 on SuSE 9.0 Pro as a PDC with an LDAP backend, and decommissioning the NT4 PDC at the same time. So far, so good. We can also rebuild the old PDC hardware as a Samba-3 on SuSE 9.0 Pro BDC. Unfortunately however, the NT4 BDC cannot be removed from the network

>>I have a client in a similar situation. NT4 PDC w/Exchange 5.5 and Samba member servers. 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

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

hello i try to migrate nt4 to samba. the passwd-backend is ldap. the migration itself works fine but after that, i cannot logon from the windows xp clients to the domain. -> i have to rejoin the client to the domain then it works is this a bug or feature? the sambaNTPassword change then in ldap data base here is part of my smb.conf ------------------- snip ----------------- workgroup

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 - I'm setting up a new Samba PDC here in a 30-person architectural office. The current PDC is running on an older computer and hasn't been updated in a while. The new PDC will be Samba 3.4.0 running on Ubuntu 9.10. We don't use roaming profiles. My question is this - is there a way to "seamlessly" migrate the desktops to the new PDC from the old one without

We're trying to migrate from a windows NT domain to a Samba domain. I've installed Samba 3.0.2a with an LDAP backend. The server seems to be running fine as I can browse the shares from a non-domain Win2k workstation after a successful password check. The workstations join the domain just fine but after I join them to the domain I can't log in to them. I've checked my schannel

There is a line in my message that was incorrect. It should state the following: The users with "(primary)" attached to their name are being deleted. As you can see, the Domain Admins group no longer includes joeblow, snoopy or vbe.

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 am migrating an old but functional Samba 3.3.4 smbpasswd-based PDC to a new Samba 4.0-based VM. I planned to build the 4.0 as a BDC and then simply dcpromo it to my PDC, and then retire the old server. But I've come across two problems for which I'm needing some guidance. I've built the 4.0 box, extracted the original domain SID, and joined the machine to the domain. I can log into

Greetings all, I've been researching migrating my NT4 PDC and BDC services to samba to get around the concerns we have here with NT4 no longer being patched when security holes are found. Details of my current NT4 domain... approx 300 computers, most of which can be migrated out soon either to be in no-domain or in an active directory domain approx 3000 user accounts, which need to be

Hello, I do a Migration from NT4 to Samba + LDAP, I already join Samba to NT4, when I type net rpc vampire -S NT -U Administrator%nt, the following error occur, [2007/12/28 00:13:16, 0] rpc_client/cli_pipe.c:cli_rpc_pipe_open_schannel(2673) cli_rpc_pipe_open_schannel: failed to get schannel session key from server NT for domain SFA.[2007/12/28 00:13:16, 0]

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

Hi all For several days I've been doing tests for our upcoming migration from an NT domain to Samba PDC with ldapsam. We have ~200 clients, mostly NT4 and some Win2k. We want all of our users eventually switch from Windows to KDE on Linux with thin clients through NX :-) I managed to net rpc vampire all user and machine accounts into LDAP, but then I realized some problems: - The

How much of a resource hog is a PDC? My understanding is that authentication is done vs a BDC if available. I configured my new file server as the domain PDC because I figured it would already have to run samba. I have two other machines configured as BDCs to serve as logon servers. I'm looking for opinions on whether I'm asking for performance problems by making my file server the

Hi I am using samba-3.0.0beta3-1.i386.rpm on RedHat 9... trying to migrate from NT4 PDC to Samba PDC... reading the HOW-TO document at step 6 whioch is net rpc vampire...

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
