Hello guys, i just wanted to ask about an idea, if it is feasible (or not). The company i work for (350 users) has 2 branches, that are interconnected with HQ via L2TP (encapsulated in IPsec) tunnels, that are setup in between Mikrotik routers. current setup: 300 users | HQ 192.168.2.0/23 | | Samba PDC + LDAP | | (389 DS) backend | | | | | / \ 30 users /

Hi, We have an old domain with a samba-3 PDC and LDAP backend in our HQ and two BDC in our branch offices. Since we don't use the domain in our HQ anymore and one of the branches will be moved to our new domain (2003/2008) I'm thinking about decomissioning the PDC and promote both BDCs as PDC for their branch offices and networks. I would also get rid of LDAP. Changing the backend to

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, Samba4 has been going great for quite a while now, so I thought I would get a little adventurous. The goal is to install Openchange with SOGo. The SOGo part is fine, but Openchange extends the AD schema in a similar way that Exchange extends the AD schema. To facilitate this, I joined a new DC to the domain, and transferred the fsmo schema role to this new DC. When I say

I've searched google and the samba archives to no avail (appologies if I've missed something), so I will ask the community directly: I am trying to convert a fully populated smbpasswd file to the tdbsam backend: # pdbedit -i smbpasswd:./smbpasswd -e tdbsam:./passdb.tdb This seems to work, on the surface, but upon inspection I find that # pdbedit -Lw username

I have an odd situation where Samba 3.x domain members in an Active Directory 2008 R2 domain cannot authenticate the Administrator. All other users work, but if I try to connect to the samba services as the domain Administrator, authentication fails. The Windows domain controllers are happy to accept connections from the Administrator (e.g. using smbclient) but the Linux (Centos 5.5 and 5.6)

Hi, I'm putting together a fax solution for my company that utilizes T.38. I wanted to throw out my plan and get some feedback if anyone is doing something similar or sees a blatant problem with it. We're currently rolling out SPA-942 phones for the standard desk phone with vanilla Asterisk 1.4.15 (just upgraded it today) on the back end. Most calls for satellite offices are handled by

Hello all, since some weeks I try to get the following configuration working Windows 2003 AD (no R2!!) with SFU 3.5 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Tikanga) with Samba (samba-3.0.33-3.14.el5) nss_ldap (nss_ldap-253-21.el5) So I wanted to implement the following setup: http://us5.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/idmapper.html#id2607783 The main reason using this

Hi out there, I`ve not a real problem (currently), but a few questions on wan-wide (read: low bandwidth) share distribution with samba 2.2.1a. The setup described below was developed in a hurry (was needed by tomorrow :-\). Are there better ways to do this? What are the pros and cons of using the msdfs - options in this situation? Has anyone set up a similar share topology? If so, would you

hello, I have two domains, one w2k3 and one with samba 3. The users log on to the samba domain and use outlook connected on exchange on w2k3 domain. pwd age for the two domains is aligned. On another samba 3.0.23c linux machine inside the w2k3 domain (ads security parameter set) I have set up a script that allows to change the w2k3 domain password for the user, using ldapmodify command to change

CentOS 5.3 getent does not return data from the active directory (ads) I have installed and configured kerberos and samba so that the server can be a member of an existing Active Directory (AD). Correct configuration of kerbos was verified using kinit and klist. The samba configuration was verified by using "smbclient -k -L server". winbind was verified by using "wbinfo

Hi: Can anybody point me to some guidelines about SMB network design or give some advice? Samba HOWTOs are very detailed recipes, but I need some general tips, like if we are serving fish or pasta tonight :-) This is the situation: a WAN with 20 offices with 2 to 30 people in each, plus a headquarter with 50 people, plus the databases and central file servers. The organization grew up on a NT4

Replying on list so others may help or benefit... Arne, It's been a while since I've done one of these migrations, but here's a couple of things to try: - Make sure the clients' primary DNS server is an Active Directory Integrated DNS (in a single-DC environment, the DNS is usually the same machine as the W2K3 domain controller) - In the clients' Advanced TCP/IP

Yes as Rowland said only a minimum of attributes are transferred. We wrote a script for

Hi Running Samba version 3.0.22-13.18 on Suse 10.1 using a tdbsam backend as a PDC. I created a new policy using the pdbedit tool (mim. password length, amount of times a bad password can be entered before getting locked out etc). This policy is working fine apart from one issue. Users must reset their passwords every 90 days. Again this works user is prompted to change password and
