Are there any gotcha's..... I am currently using winbindd and very successfully integrating my Samba boxes with the NT4 domain structure. The admin who is doing the migration (A corporate person not used to Linux at all) is already nervous about the migration since it involves Linux. Usernames are not supposed to change..but, the authentication domain is going to be a completely new

Four years ago, I migrated our network from Windows NT based servers to Linux, Samba+LDAP based setups. This setup has worked fine. Last year, we replaced our Exchange 5.5 server - the last "real" Windows server - with Scalix. This last decision has come back to bite me. Several new "thingys" that the boss wants, among other things, are forcing me to implement Exchange

Migrating Users Profiles When Changing Domain Affiliation: A Primer I. Introduction NOTE: This applies to Windows NT-based systems with locally-stored user profiles. Windows 9x and Me do not manage user profiles in the same way. Quite often we find the need to change a workstation's affiliation, either from a workgroup (that is, the workstation is not in a domain environment) to a domain,

Hello all, I'm currently investigating the option to completely replace a SBS2003 DC with a Samba4 DC. My research (mostly on samba.org guides) shows that it is feasible, however I'd like to get feedback from the community on my goals. Current status: A Windows SBS 2003 is the PDC and a W2008 R2 server is acting as secondary DC. Domain operational level is 2003. There are ~40-50

Here's the situation. We've got an old NT4 domain (not a Samba domain in NT 4 mode) which we'll call CRUSTY. There is of course an NT4 PDC and several NT4 BDCs. We have some Linux/Samba file servers (Samba 3.0.1) that are member servers (security = domain) of the NT4 domain. We also have several NT4 BDCs and about 200 workstations of varying vintage (2000, XP) in several

Hi all, I need some help with the following problem: I need to migrate a bunch of user accounts to another domain on a Windows 2003 server (eventually to 2008R2, but that step seemed to big to do in one go). To keep all access rights etc. correct, I need to get the SID history set correctly as well. From what I've researched so far, I'm aware of

Hi, We have an old samba server, 2.2.8a, running on freebsd 4.9, as a PDC. There's currently a temporary, standalone mode, win2008r2 with an (mssql) app that for full utility requires running on a ADC. I have very little experience with AD. An older version of mssql and the app were running on a standalone win2k server, which is still available if needed. I've found various

I presently have a Samba server (3.0.21b) set up as a member server in an NT4 domain (with a real Windows NT4 PDC). We are migrating to an Active Directory domain (with a real Windows 2003 domain controller). We have set up a two-way trust between the old NT4 domain "CLUNKY" and the new ADS domain "SLEEK" (aka sleek.local). The Samba server is a member of the CLUNKY domain

You can see by the subject I've got an ugly problem. Even though I don't have a Samba server anywhere near the network in question, nobody understands browsing as well as the folks on the Samba team. :-) Here's the situation: I've got two workgroups, FLINTSTONE and RUBBLE which are on physically separate networks. FLINTSTONE has a Windows 2003 Active Directory domain

Hi, I always studying the fact that I must move to a pure windows AD. Is ADMT can work with a samba 4.1.4 for transfer informations to windows AD DC ? Must I upgrade to a newer version before ? regards Stéphane Purnelle

When I took over as the IT guy in September, there were 2 separate locations with different domains each managed by a SBS 2003 machine. The connection between them was an OpenVPN tunnel. The network was fine and one could see 2 domains in the network. Local and Local2 are working names. From a workstation on Local one could see Local2 in the Microsoft Windows Network, and vice versa from Local2

Hi I am using Mandrake 9.2, Samba 2.4 version as a PDC. How do I enable the roaming profiles on the server via /etc/samba/smb.conf?

Dear all, I have 2 domains: JUPITER.COM (Samba 3.0.23c - Centos5) and WIN.COM (Windows 2000 Adv Srv). I join a windows XP SP1 (MOON), first to Windows domain and then to Samba's. The problem is when I join the XP to Samba's and then try to logon to WIN.COM, the XP is instead logon to Samba, thus the username is not found. The DNS is not a problem, I set the DNS of the XP to

can some one help me.... We are running samba on a mandrake v10 machine and suddenly we can't access the samba shares. it is in an ADS with MS sbs2003 as the PDC the error in the samba logs is Aug 28 08:50:06 hermes smbd[27096]: [2005/08/28 08:50:06, 0] auth/auth_domain.c:connect_to_domain_password_server(123) Aug 28 08:50:06 hermes smbd[27096]: connect_to_domain_password_server: unable

Hi, I am preparing to get our Data Center from a Samba 3.5 NT4 domain to AD. All users, file ownerships, etc. have to remain of course. I am planning to use Samba 4.7.x, but I was wondering if it is possible to eventually transition to Windows Server 2016 as the only DC hosts. The way I understand it is that this is not possible right now, because Samba doesn't support that schema version

It appears that you cannot include groups from trusted domains in the 'valid users =' directive on a share. Here is the scenario as I experienced it (names have been changed to protect the innocent): Configuration: - Samba 3.0.21b as a member server in a real NT4 domain (security = domain) called 'NTDOMAIN' - NTDOMAIN has a two-way trust with Windows 2003 Active Directory

Yeah I know. Not a good question to ask on a samba newsgroup. Unfortunately for this client, the software they use requires a Windows server. Since the box is less than a year old, they do not want to purchase a second server for two applications. So, I am left with the task of converting the linux/samba server to WinBloze 2003 Server. There are only 10 workstations so if I have to unjoin
