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

I just started at a new company and they do not have a server at all I want to put a samba server in place but I need to make sure that in the future I could add a windows server if we buy software that requires it. Does anybody know if this is possible to do? I ideally I would like it to import the users and their information to the AD on the windows server but is not required. Thanks

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

I've decided to share my experiences with the list in hopes that it will help someone else doing something similar avoid the problems I experienced, and hopefully, have a better experience. Here's the scope of my project: Original installation: - Samba 2.2.x series server - Workgroup security (read: local security, not domain security) - no domain controller - password database is

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 hope someone can help We currently have Windows XP Professional PCs that logon to an old Novell Netware 3.12 server. We?re just using the standard Windows Netware client, and each user has a Windows XP User account and password that matches their Novell one. When they logon to Windows, they are automatically authenticated to Novell. However, we are now in the final stages of

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

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

This might be a stupid question, but I ask only because I can't think of a good reason... Why do so many vendors' builds of Samba not include libnss_wins, the WINS/NetBIOS name resolution library? I find that it is very helpful for my Linux/Samba servers to be able to resolve hostnames by WINS. It also seems to improve domain browsing performance dramatically to have the library present

I have a Samba 3.0.4 server configured as a PDC. NetBIOS name of the server is "SERVER"; name of the workgroup is "AEC". Problem is that there's now a phantom workgroup called "SERVER" when I try to browse the network. Since there's no clients configured in this workgroup, any attempts to browse this workgroup fail. When I attempt to use User Manager for

Hello, all-- I've a question regarding using WINS for resolving names while on the unix box. As I understand it, you're supposed to add something to the /etc/nsswitch.conf file, but it's not clear to me whether it's supposed to be 'wins', 'winbind', or 'winbindd' as in the following example: hosts: files wins nisplus nis dns hosts: files winbind

A few tips when submitting to this or any mailing list. I may be preaching to the choir, but some of you can't carry a tune. 1) Make your subject short and descriptive. Avoid the words "help" or "Samba" in the subject. The readers of this list already know that a) you need help, and b) you are writing about samba (of course, you may need to distinguish between Samba PDC

Hi. My Situation: - One Machine with samba 3.0.14 acting as DC, DHCP3SERVER, BIND9 and dynamic DNS - One Machine with w2k3 server standard edition acting as DOMAIN MEMBER, TS and Citrix Access Essentials. - Domain Logons are working perfect. - Name resolving works fine. Reverse, Forward, NB, FQDN, IP ... - RDP Connection to the TS with local useraccount on the TS works fine - ICA Connection to

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 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?

At the risk of being called a turncoat and traitor in Sambaland, I ask, "how do I migrate from a Samba 3 domain to a Windows 2003 Active Directory domain?" A customer has determined that they wish to use the groupware features of Microsoft Exchange. They already have the licenses they need, so there's no point in convincing them that Samba will be cheaper or that some

Hi everyone, I'm about to install a Samba PDC in a network that previously was working as a workgroup. All the users have been logging into their local machines as "administrator" and all with the same password. What I would really like to do is to move their profiles with them, but as they are all using the same username and the like I can see this is going to cause problems. So

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
