similar to: Migration to Samba from Windows 2000

I just did a clean install of Fedora 9 onto a Pentium 4 machine. It is actually running SELinux enforcing, but I haven't found any errors related to that so far. It is running Samba 3.2.3-0.20. I am trying to migrate a Windows NT 4.0 domain with about 30 users and 30 computers onto a pure Samba setup, using Samba as the PDC and tdbsam. I have read the HOWTO guide extensively, and

I play Oblivion on my laptop and everything works fine. I even have the vampire face bug everybody has. Thing is, no fix works on my fedora 14 with latest wine version. Maybe you can help. Why doesn't Unofficial Oblivion Patch fix the problem for me like it does for everybody else. Please help me. I am sick about the vampire face always restarting to default. The Unofficial Oblivion Patch

Hello, Using vampire to migrate accounts from an NT box and found that machine names were not created. Creating account: IT-NT$ Could not create posix account info for 'IT-NT$' Creating account: PDC$ Could not create posix account info for 'PDC$' <snip> And seemingly random user accounts were also not created. Can I make another pass with vampire to retrieve the missed

I'm helping out a small office upgrade their NT 4 PDC to Samba. It's a small office of 6 people, so tdbsam is being used. They keep having tape backup issues and other problems, so one of the reasons for the Samba migration is to allow me to SSH into their box and remotely administer it from home on evenings/weekends. Currently I'm testing the move using two dummy machines, and

I've done the net rpc vampire and gotten all the user and machine accounts from the NT server, I've test logged in, checked permissions, set groups, tested some of our odd apps and it all looks good. The problem I'm having is switching the desktops, and keeping the (non-roaming) profiles. I'd like to have it so everyone reboots their computer after the Samba switch over, and then

John, We previously corresponded on our testing of Samba 3.0.0 RC4. Since then, we have downloaded the Samba 3.0.0 Release version for testing with some interesting results. The Setup Major Networks: Solaris (NIS), Windows Native NT4 Domain Our Test Plan We are testing Samba 3.0 as a candidate for replacing the old NT4 Domain. Being a complex production networking environment, we replicated

Hi, I've been in the process of attempting a transition from our current NT 4.0 PDC to Samba 3.0.4 on linux (Debian running the 2.4.18 kernel). I can get the smbd/nmbd up and running just fine and configure them by hand or with SWAT and the changes are saved. I've been following the HOWTO's and get stuck at the net rpc vampire step: I am able to join the linux machine, call it

Hello Samba People, it is my first letter to Samba ML, so first of all - thanks Samba team for a great SW. Now the question: I want to migrate from Win2003 AD to Samba 3.3.2. I want to use net vampire feature to import all account information (is there any other way to do it?). Net vampire works partly - in the direct meaning of this word - it is importing only 131 objects. How come? Full

* sigh * this is becoming an exercise in frustration. * Performing a direct migration of my Samba 3.3.4 box by copying .tdb and related files to the new machine looks like a non-starter, as the group_mappings file went from an ldb to a .tdb format, and it appears the only conversion occurs during an in-place version upgrade. * The next step, it appears, looks to be some sort of upgrade to the

Hi, I'm attempting to migrate an NT4 domain to Samba3, and getting quite frustrated with stuff that seems not to work as advertised. I'd appreciate any help. I've set up an OpenLDAP server, and Samba 3, configured it as a BDC, and tried running "net rpc vampire". This all works, and Samba does the appropriate stuff to try and populate the LDAP database. The scripts I've

I am migrating an old but functional Samba 3.3.4 smbpasswd-based PDC to a new Samba 4.0-based VM. I planned to build the 4.0 as a BDC and then simply dcpromo it to my PDC, and then retire the old server. But I've come across two problems for which I'm needing some guidance. I've built the 4.0 box, extracted the original domain SID, and joined the machine to the domain. I can log into

Greetings everyone I finally succeeded in doing the seemingly most difficult thing, "following directions." I got my act together configuring the smb.conf and migrating using net rpc vampire into tdbsam. There are issues with this migration in which computer netbios names which are obviously all uppercase were not being created in /etc/passwd. I put my C cap on and converted the computer

Hello experts, I've migrated our NT4 domain to sambe 3.0.20b/ldap backend with "net rpc vampire", and nearly everything works as expected. But one big problem remains: it's not possible to login to the domains member maschines now, because "the domain is not available at the moment" (translated from german). After the maschine rejoined the samba domain, login

Hi all, I'm trying to migrate NT PDC server to Samba PDC. and now i use samba 3.0.0beta2.

Hi all! Samba 2.x has been running for a while now but now it's time to upgrade. I tried everything (Google, Books, HOWTO's, etc.) but for the last month I've been unable to perform a succesfull migration. Maybe I try to do to many things at once but I cannot get the following to work: - Move the samba domain from a 2.x server to 3.x on a different machine - switch to a ldap

Hi All, It seems like Samba 3 does require the PDC to use LDAP for nss when using ldapsam. I reconfigured Solaris 9 to use nss_ldap and 'getent group' now shows the posixGroups created by the 'net rpc vampire' operation. I then cleaned up the LDAP database and ran vampire again. Each group is created successfully with incrementing gidNumber 10000 onward. 'net groupmap

Hi, Can someone help me get "net rpc vampire" in one of its forms working. The objective is to migrate from an NT4 PDC to a SAMBA 3.0 PDC using LDAP as a back end. I am trying to migrate the user and machine accounts across in a lab environment, separate from the main network (I have replicated the PDC to do this). I have samba-3.0.20b built from the samba team source RPM on Fedora
