similar to: Removing Samba+LDAP, replacing W2k3+AD

I've got a Samba (3.0.14a) controlled domain that contains 1 Windows 2003 Server as a member server. I've been thinking about using Terminal Services from that machine to allow roaming users (ie, those outside of the office) to connect to our network and get work done. My only concern at this point how to deal with the lack of an Active Directory and still allow Terminal Services to

I've got a Samba 2.2.7a domain with an LDAP backend. It's been working for nearly 3 months now without much bother. By the way: Great work and thanks for all of the effort! I have been missing one minor thing from the setup since I moved away from NT 4: Password Expiration. In the past I have posted questions about this on the list and I've gotten two answers: "Wait for

Hi All! Thanks to all of you that responded to my previous posts. I've gotten a lot more info now than I used to have! But I still have questions. The biggest right now is: Is there a way build up a Samba PDC as a direct replacement for an existing Windows NT 4.0 PDC? All the material I've found to date is written from a standpoint of creating a new domain as you create the Samba

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

We're about to start migrating from Windows NT 4.0 to a Samba controlled setup. I've got a question about the functionality of the Samba PDCs and BDCs. In my Windows setup I have three domains that are defined by geographic locations. Each of these domains "trusts" the other. In Samba 2.2.7, I can't have the trusts, so I'm looking at creating one giant domain that

I've had a Samba 3.0.2 Print Server running for nearly 7 months now without too much of a hitch on RedHat Enterprise "ES" 3.0. Late last week, RedHat issued an Errata that moved Samba from the 3.0.2 base to the 3.0.4 base. So when I did the "up2date" this weekend as part of my normal maintenance, this server was updated and everything appeared to be fine. Things are

That was a good hint! Yes, I've installed SP2, and it realy seems to be the Problem. Now I've checked that on a machine with SP1 - and the jobs from the same printqueue are removed correctly there! -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [Samba] Samba 3.0.9 doesn't remove printjobs ?

I'm trying to migrate my existing RedHat ES Samba PDC to Ubuntu. The RedHat version of Samba is 3.0.9 and the Ubuntu version is 3.0.14a. Everything was going fine until I tried to import the LDIF of the existing LDAP directory. The LDIF actually imports all of the structure (OU and Group definitions) and all of my users, but it fails when it comes to my first machine account with this

Ok, I got the W2K3 resource kit tool to move my local profile to my domain profile (moveuser.exe). Didn't really work that cleanly. Even though I used the /k (keep the local account), it didn't really. It seemed to change the permissions on MOST of the files. It didn't really move the files either. It's just pointed my profile (or parts of it) to the existing folder. Can't

Hi ! I?m trying to figure out if it?s possible to add a W2K3 Server into a Samba 3.0 Domain and then have the RAS-Service on the W2K3 server authenthicate against the Samba Domain. Bringing the 2K3 into the Domain was not much of a problem, working fine so far, i can log on using Domain users etc. But i?ve been trying for a week now and i can?t get the RAS Service working properly. It always

Hi All, A couple of days ago I posted a query here about the loss of performance on my backup server after I moved from Red Hat 7.3 to SuSE 8.1. It appears as though, with no hardware or script changes, that my backup process takes 4 hours longer with SuSE 8.1. I'm doing (what I think is) a very simple script that basically employs SMBMOUNT, CP, and DIFF. Like this:

Hi All: Stuff I'm using: Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 2.1 Samba 2.2.7 OpenLDAP 2.0.25 I followed the Idealx.org howto to build Samba+LDAP. I have a functioning, replicating domain on my lab workbench right now. Then I began to explore permissions on local shares, etc. when I discovered that to a Windows client, the only domain groups that are available from a Samba PDC are "Domain

I really need to either upgrade my Scalix server or replace it. It has to be: Free Integrated with anti-spam IPv6 support optional anti-virus (processing concerns) I don't have to be able to port mail from the Scalix to the new server. Everyone can just POP their mail. I have read a bit about Zimbra, it comes as a tar for rhel 5. No rpm that I can find. I also found SME, I have a LOT

After testing my W2K3 SP1 terminal server against a SAMBA server *AND* a W2K server, I have noticed the following *odd* behavior. LOGIN: Map drive letters LOGOUT: Connections are still connected. on BOTH W2K and SAMBA file servers. LOGIN: Map drive letters LOGOUT: Now you have TWO sets of connections still connected for the one user. REPEAT: For each time you repeat the above procedure, you

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,

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 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

Well, I stumbled onto zimbra.... I have a Scallix system built, but still have some rough edges to try to smooth. Like the way it works with sendmail, no dnsbl's will work as sendmail sees all mail as coming from locohost (scalix). Still battling that one which is when I ran across Zimbra. So, this made me start wondering. Are there other exchange server-like products out there? Has
