Yes, this would be possible; 1. Vampire your accounts on to a new Samba DC 2. Disconnect it from network 3. Denote your NT Dc's 4. Rejoin them to the Samba Domain NOTE: As the other person said, while possible, this would be a bitch of a job. You said you need to maintain your NT server anyway, why not just put the files and printers and what not on samba and leave the user accounts to

Hi, I have an existing WinNT domain and, after some labour, a new Samba3x domain. I created the Samba domain with a different name because the WinNT domain name wasn't appropriate. I have about 40 users. Their accounts have been added to the new domain. I'm almost ready to shift everyone to the new domain but I am a bit concerned about the user's profiles. These are local profiles. I

Hello, Does anybody know if Samba is compadable with Vista Yet? If so, is there a way for a group pr user policy to allow samba users to things in windows vista, like install programs w/o admin access. I know Vista has policies that can do this, where it cna basicly grant the user access, witha prompt or w/o a prompt. Can Samba support this too?

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

All, Looks like I'm in a predicament. One of our new sites will prompt users (in IE) to display "mixed content". Which is basically asking if you want to display some http in a https site. I have found the solution, (besides having a user go into IE's tools / privacy / custom settings / enable mix content) - with a registry entry. However, the registry entry goes to:

Are you sure of that ? I thought it was possible... If it is not, I've got another slightly off topic question : how to I demote my former Windows NT PDC (that is now a BDC) to a normal Windows NT server, so that I have no problem with it ?

Thanks But this is for demoting a PDC to a BDC. I've done that already. What I want to demote my BDCs to standalone server. I'll give a try to upromote.

I have been running Samba 4 as an AD/DC for a couple of years now with few problems. I provisioned the domain using --dns-backend=BIND9_FLATFILE and the /etc/named.conf includes the samba-tool provision created file /var/lib/samba/private/named.conf, with zone files in /var/lib/samba/private/dns. All that has been working just fine for for 2 or 3 years. Lately, I added a VirtualBox XP guest

Dear all, I am a new user of R and currently trying hard to develop my own package. Here I am following this tutorial 'http://www.mathfinance.cn/how-to-create-an-R-package-in-windows/' Here it says that (step 8): "open a ?command prompt? window, change the directory to where your package is, type the command ?R CMD build MonteCarloPi? to build the package, this will generate a file

Hi all, Dave Burt mentioned the possibility of adding symlinks to the Dir class. http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/misc.shtml#junction There is also Autrijus Tang''s symlink Perl module at http://search.cpan.org/~autrijus/Win32-Symlink-0.04/ Looks easy enough, but it only seems to work for directories, not regular files. Should we add this to the Directory class, or simply

Hello!! A customer of mine recently experienced a catastrophic failure of their PDC, and their BDC is not running as stable as we'd like. They've agreed to move PDC/BDC schema to Linux (currently they run NT4). So the question is: having ONLY a BDC available for SAM database, how do I extract that so I can replicate that to Samba and do a "transparent" upgrade (if possible)?

hi! we have completed testing samba pdc on a small network using fc3. we have been succesful so far. we now intend to totally replace our nt4 pdc with samba pdc. the following will be the main components of the network: 1. 300++ win98/2000/xx clients 2. win2003 db servers 3. terminal services with 100 clients before we shutdown the network and do the switch may i ask your inputs about the

Hi every body, As you may have guessed, I've got a problem ;) What I had : - A PDC Server (Windows NT 4 SP 6a), called SERVER1, for the domain TEST - A BDC Server (Windows NT 4 SP 6a), called SERVER2, for the domain TEST Everything was working fine. Now I switched my NT PDC to a Samba PDC, and I make SERVER1 a BDC for the domain. Until now, no problem. I use samba 3.0.4,

Can anybody give me a hint how to set up Samba BDC(RedHat 9.0) with rsync-ing WIN-NT PDC so that if WIN-NT PDC is down all the clients can still get Authentication service from Samba BDC(RedHat 9.0). i have seen in Samba documentation that it can be done using rsync but nowhwere it is clearly explained howto do it.. I ran out of gas by looking through google also... :-( With Best Regards YS

Hi, We have an upcoming project to migrate Samba first into a new Hardware then the AD migration. Our hardware is old and we need to migrate. Please allow me to explain the current setup - Server : Physical - OS: Ubuntu 14.04 running Samba 4.0.0. Even though it is running Samba 4, we are using configs from Samba3. - Roles: DC, DNS , DHCP and Shares - Database: TDB - DNS: BIND9 - Clients: Mix of

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

Hi list, This is driving me to distraction. I have installed the 3.0.14a RPMS on SLES8, and am following chapter 9 of the 'By Example' documentation, to migrate from an NT domain to a Samba domain backed by LDAP. I have followed the instructions up to the point where I enter: net rpc join -S pdc_it -U Administrator%password Unfortunately, this responds with: Creation of workstation
