similar to: Migrate SMB/LDAP to new server

I hope that someone can let me know what I have done wrong. I need to replace and existing server (server1) with a new server (server2). Server1 is currently running LDAP/Samba (3.0.14). Profiles stored in /opt/samba/profiles I installed all of the pieces, and LDAP works (mostly, I have an issue, see below) I ran net getlocalsid DOMAINNAME on server1 used the SID value in net setlocalsid

I have upgraded my Samba3+LDAP system to Samba 4 following the instructions given here: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/samba-tool/domain/classicupgrade/HOWTO I did this on a test server (so I also moved the ldap database, installed openldap, etc). The installation passes all the simple tests suggested here:

I need to move our existing Samba/LDAP PDC to another server. Currently it is on server1 and I want server2 to be the Samba/LDAP PDC instead. However, I am uncertain of what files need to be copied over to ensure that I don't have to rejoin machines to the domain. Searching the web I found information on creating the initial PDC setup, but nothing on moving the PDC. I also have a system

When I try to add users or groups in Win2K via the Security tab -- Select Users or Groups, not all users or groups are displayed. Any account created since 1 January isn't showing up. I patched the Win2K server just before this date. All accounts that were creaated prior to this date still appear. On the Linux system which is acting as the Samba PDC (and is using ldap), pdbedit -l

Hey list, I've got a problem with my PDC/BDC setup. They're both running 3.0.23c on Sarge, and I've verified that both the PDC and BDC will authenticate users. test-pdc:/etc/samba# testparm Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf Processing section "[netlogon]" Loaded services file OK. Server role: ROLE_DOMAIN_PDC test-bdc:/var/log/samba# testparm Load smb config

hi list&john, i read in the documention about BDCs: The domain SID has to be the same on the PDC and the BDC. In Samba versions pre-2.2.5, the domain SID was stored in the file |private/MACHINE.SID|. For all versions of Samba released since 2.2.5 the domain SID is stored in the file |private/secrets.tdb|. This file is unique to each server and cannot be copied from a PDC to a BDC; the BDC

Greetings, A little while ago I started receiving an error any time I tried to run a samba-tool command on my pdc. My bdc is showing inbound and outbound working just fine with the pdc. The error I am receiving is ldb: unable to stat module /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/samba/ldb : No such file or directory. Is this just as simple as creating a soft link to /usr/local/samba/lib/ldb? Any advice

Hi, For reasons best known to the IT admin before myself, we currently have a domain name of WARLOCK. I want to change this. We have about 15 WinXP Pro client machines on the domain as well as a few linux domain clients. A bit of reading shows that it should be as simple as doing a net getlocalsid, making the change, followed by a net setlocalsid. I started doing this when I noticed something

Hello List, i have got a samba pdc running based on the smbldap tools and Debian Sarge. Now we would like to move everything over to Ubuntu Hardy. Can i simply: - Create the same users and groups with the same id on Hardy - Move the files and profiles over by keeping their permissions (rsync -avzp ...) - Set the samba SID to be the old orginial one (i do not know how this could be done and if

Hi Scott, Good to see 64bit, I would suggest doing something like this as follows> logon to a BDC that is currently accepting domain logons and is replicating the database from the PDC. as root > slapcat-v -l ldiif-transfer.txt ; to dump the database. root > scp ldif-transfer.txt root@RHE4BDC:/dir root > net getlocalsid | cat sidtransfer.txt # vi and check the file for sid number

Hello everyone. I have a Samba+LDAP server running here in my company. Everything is working fine, but I'm now worried about the backup of my configurations. In the LDAP, I just slapcat my base to an ldif file and that's everything ok! But in Samba, if I need to upgrade to a new machine, how am I gonna be able to create another Samba server, with the SAME configurations? By "same

I hope this isnt terribly off-topic, but Im trying to migrate openldap from an old 32bit install of gentoo linux to 64bit centos 7. Ive searched and found all kinds of info on migrating, but none if it seems to work completely for me. It seems that the newer centos 7 opendlap config doesnt use the slapd.conf file any more. So It appears I need two ldif files. one for the config and one for the

I have been testing with openldap_2.2.13-2 and have experience on 2 occasions lockups where the ldap server does not respond (slapcat will just hang). I have upgraded to openldap_2.2.13-4. Is there a recommended version of openldap for SambaPDC? Does anyone have a system in production using openldap_2.2.13-2 or openldap_2.2.13-4? I'm currently using samba3-20b any recommendations for a

Hello, I'm lloking for a way to convert my company's existing samba2.2 ldap backed service to samba 3.0. What's particulary making me curious is the sambaSID. As I've read it is the unique identifier of a PDC in the windows world. So, how does samba3 generate this? Is it supposed to be changed by the admin or is it determined by samba on the first startup? Any pointer to a doc

I have been using Samba 2.2 with LDAP as a PDC for a domain for over a year in a gradeschool setting. Recently, users have been having problems with roaming profiles not working. And not all users, just some. I have applied the policy fix for CompatibleRUPSecurity, along with other suggestions, but I still get 'the profile cannot be loaded', Access is denied message for somce users. I

I am looking to move our current Samba primary domain controller to a new machine. The current machine is EOL, running Fedora 11 (old), and had way too many services on it to start with (mail, dns, samba, mysql replication, primary ldap, etc). I am looking to move to a Xen domu with either Fedora 13 or Centos 5.5. What my question is is this: what should I look for when I migrate the samba

What's wrong with WARLOCK? Just kidding. If you don't like it, change it, but do expect problems. It's not something you will find a recipee for in a How-to book. The SETLOCALSID changes only the LOCAL SID, not the GLOBAL SID, for which we would probably need SETGLOBALSID. When I faced the same problem, I did something really wrong but it worked. I copy-pasted the LOCAL SID to the

Hi Im looking to config a BDC with ldap. It seems the connection with ldap primary server works, but Im confused with the shared folders. I understood when you creates a BDC needs to put the same global information: [global] workgroup = DOMAIN netbios name = DOMAIN-PDC security = user enable privileges = yes interfaces = 127.0.0.0/8 eth0 10.0.1.0/24 10.0.0.0/24 server string =

Greetings, I recently upgraded Samba on an Ubuntu 14.04.2 server from version 4.1.9 to 4.2.3. Upon rebooting Samba process goes into a running state then after a short time it will go into an uninterruptible state. If I check the log.samba, it appears that it is attempting to start, then hangs at the following: [2016/06/23 15:16:00.329503, 3] ../source4/param/share.c:124(share_register)
