similar to: samba server as dfs host?

I've been reading through a lot of documentation and haven't found the answer to this question. I'd like to setup a DFS Root on a Win2K3 server with some Samba server shares participating as replica links. Is this possible? I've got the shares setup on the Samba servers and have no trouble accessing them from windows computers. I tried to setup the links on the Win2k3 server, but

Can I have folders in the msdfs root? >From the docs I do not see a mention of this and in the past it did not work for me however with samba-3.0.28 it appears to be working. img_dfs_root # ls -alR .: total 0 drwxrwsr-x 3 root honestbrokers 264 Feb 28 14:11 . drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 104 Oct 22 10:35 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root honestbrokers 27

Hello, we have a mixed environment at work: CentOS + Win2003 servers. The Win2k3 part contains: AD, DNS (inlc. dyndns), DHCP, DFS, Exchange. The CentOS part: NIS passwords + also a DNS server. So currently we have to update the Linux DNS server zone infos by hand: I export a text file from Windows DNS server and then edit it around using vim. On the Windows side however it's easy for me to

My setup is Samba/smbclient version 3.0.1 on linux RedHat 9. \\snapper\dfs is a dfs share on snapper, a Win2k3 Active Directory server. My smb.conf contains: [global] realm = ciswinnet.cis.uab.edu workgroup=CISWINNET security = ADS encrypt passwords = yes password server = snapper.cis.uab.edu client use spnego = yes I am trying to run the following command: smbclient \\\\snapper\\dfs

Here's the procedure: # qemu-img -f qcow2 /vm/win2k3.img 8G # virt-install --connect qemu:///system -n win2k3 -r 512 --vcpus=1 -c /home/temp/win2003sp2ins.iso -f /vm/win2k3.img -s 4 --network=bridge:br0 --mac=00:ff:ff:ff:58:58 --noautoconsole --vnc --os-type=windows --os-variant=win2k3 --hvm --accelerate And I get error as below: Starting install... internal error unable to start guest: qemu:

Hi, for the last two weeks ive been trying, to authenticate against a samba-domain using a win2k3-server. the server joined the domain without any problem and the basic login seems to work. but if i try to execute programs from mapped network drive (mapped using a domain-logon-skript), it fails with a message telling me, that i dont have sufficient rights to do so. the share has a forced user

I've been trying to setup Samba to authenticate users against accounts existing on a Windows 2003 Server without any backwards capability. Ideally, this needs to be done without any changes to the Windows 2003 Server. Users will not be logging into the Samba shares at all. This is merely for authentication. I'm running FreeBSD 4.10-Relase #4 with Samba 3.0.8. This is my smb.conf file:

Hi people. I have 2 domains right now: WinNT4 + Windows 2k3. A lot of u will say, why don't u just move everything to win2k3?.. well I prefer to work with linux/Unix. My question is this, I test the migration from NT4 to linux with ldap, it works and is not to difficult, my problem is this: All my printers are in the server running windows 2k3 my AD server, the NT4 users can access

We tried to migrate from old Windows fileserver (p4, single HDD) to Samba (FedoraCore15, Samba 3.5.12-72.fc15, ext4 volume, xeon, raid5). Our pipeline is so, that some special software generates files on that fileserver. The typical filesize ~50 mbytes. On the old hardware, software (win2k3 server) the time of single file creation was about 10 seconds. On the new configuration it takes 20-25

There are many discussions about this problem, but none of the developers of samba stepped in and gave any good explanation. Is this solved in Samba3.0.0 official release? (In what's new section of 3.0.0rc4, the 14th point is win2k3 security settings related matter. Is this the fix for SMB signature?) In one of the discussions there is a mention of disabling security option of Digitally

Hi, I have samba-3.0.23d-1tr on a trustix 3.0 system. This samba was joined to a win 2k3 domain and it works perfect for lot of months. Now I can access only to tmp share, and samba server is very slow to expose all shares. If I launch wbinfo -u or wbinfo -g, I still see the users/group from win2k3 server, but in the log of my winxp client (whose name is Euro15), I see: [2006/12/27 11:52:31, 2]

I want to modify ACL on files which are on a win2K3 server from a Debian Sarge server. my config. is: Linux Debian Sarge testing with kernel 2.6 samba 3.0.22 configured with winbind krb5 installed, the Linux server is member of a AD domain on witch the win2K3 server is a domain controller. I want to do the following (as root): smbmount //mywin2k3server/share /mnt/smb/mountingfolder -o

Hi list, Just in order to avoid loosing my time, I would be happy to know any success stories about configuring a Win2k3 as a Samba 3 client, just as any others MS client ( WinNT pro, Win2k pro, WinXP pro ). If so, is there any tuning on the Win2k3 client and the server ( Samba 3 PDC + ldapsam, but no kerb ) ? I'm expecting mistakes with users sharing their roaming profiles between Win2k

Hello, I have been trying to setup a working environment with samba4-rc1 on fedora 17 following the samba4 howto at the wiki. DNS and ldap are internal. Everything looks like working, I can create and edit GPOs with WinXP Pro but with Win2K3 server I can create GPOs but I can't edit them. I cannot see any error at the log.samba file. Win2k3 gives an error that I will try to translate to

Hi.. I have a little problem exporting Cyrus Imap /var/spool/imap folder.

Hello folks! I am trying to make sure we can use Linux/Win2k3 mix in my company. After reading up in the documentation I fealt it sounded so good I would propably get there with little effort... Well, halfway there I got fast enough. But that won't do... I have successfully joined the AD-Domain from my Linux host. And I also can authenticate a AD user in the Linux host. I used nsswitch and

Hi Thanks in advance. I know my question below is not really related with samba but I'm really confused, and you guys are expert on windows authentication, I really hope you have patience to read this and I'll appreciate any of your help. I learned a lot from this post http://lists.samba.org/archive/jcifs/2008-October/008227.html. I know that a "man in the middle" technique,

I''m trying to install Win2k3 server in a domU. dom0 is running on CentOS 5.3 and xen version is xen-3.0.3-80. I can create the new server with virt manager, win2k3 starts to install (goes through the blue back ground part of the installation, but when it reboots I get "A disk read error occurred". Any ideas? Also, are there any yum repos where I can get a newer version of

Hi All, I have a win2k3 server that its backing up to a CentOS 5.3 server. On the Win2k3 machine I plan to have rsync back up nightly to the CentOS server through ssh. The command I am using is as follows: rsync -vrPtz -e ssh myuser at myserver:/remote/backup/folder/ /local/backup/folder/ This all works great for the inital test except its prompts me for a password for "myuser" (as
