similar to: Moving PDC

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

Hello all, We have just concluded a very drawn out test of our domain that is having some trust relationship problems with Windows 7 desktops. Here is a breakdown of our setup: roark PDC running samba 3.4.7 (also has OpenLDAP) on VLAN 2 archives3 BDC running samba 3.4.7 (also has OpenLDAP) on VLAN2 arrowhead BDC "home server" running samba 3.4.3 on VLAN 9 archives4 BDC

We are migrating all of our users from the current domain to a new one we created. In this process we are moving them from roaming profiles to local. What would be the best practice to accomplish this? I can find plenty of writeups on how to do the opposite. Also we will be doing some extra folder redirection. Currently we only redirect their my documents to the server. On the new system we plan

In the comming months we will be setting up a few new machines to replace our PDC and BDC that are currently running Fedora 11 with Samba 3.4.7 and OpenLDAP 2.4.15. We will be upgrading to the latest Fedora with samba/ldap. With this we will be recreating our domain fresh to get rid of alot of old junk not needed and add in new features. We do use roaming profiles also. My main concern is this:

I had previously tried to migrate our PDC to a new machine by simply copying the config over and such. That failed miserably but luckily the various home servers (BDC's in samba speak I think) took up the slack. So after much debate, this weekend we moved the PDC back to the original machine. We never moved LDAP off of the original machine, as only samba functions moved. I now know I did

We recently migrated our install from an ancient fedora 11 install of samba and openldap to a centos 6.3 setup with its openldap and samba. The domain has been totally recreated from scratch as the person that did the previous setup has not been employed here in many years. After fighting with shares for a while we mostly got them fixed and working. However the biggest issue now is when our GIS

We are currently looking at upgrading our PDC which is currently Samba 3.4.7 with OpenLDAP backend for authentication. As it stands we are only wanting to move it to new hardware and possibly run the latest 3.X.X branch. However one of my co-workers suggested why not look at samba 4. We understand it is still in alpha but from what we read it is ready for production use. As some background

>>I have a client in a similar situation. NT4 PDC w/Exchange 5.5 and Samba member servers. Main problem is that >>they're running an old custom Outlook/Exchange workflow app which locks them in until it can be replaced. Similar situation - though we've been able to replicate it fairly easily in google apps. >>As you're aware newer then XP cannot join an NT4 domain

We are currently using samba and openLDAP to enable our users to have roaming profiles on our domain network. We have one primary domain controller and 7 "home servers" at the various locations that serve the profiles and such. The problem is that randomly various users are unable to load their profile and windows just gives them a temporary profile. This mostly happens on vista

Dear *, I''m more used to work with RedHat like OSes. Still, I did not denied the request from a user who wants a domU based on ubunto. I usually use virt-install to do the job, with a script similar to this one: #!/bin/sh BASE=SL-4.7-i386-pv \ virt-install --nographics \ --nonsparse \ --paravirt \ --noreboot \

Hello, Currently our mail server is setup to use postfix and dovecot, which is fine except it is setup to use mbox format mail. That and procmail as we need to move to sieve but that is a different issue. I have searched until blue in the face and cannot find a 100% working solution that doesn't require alot of manual interaction to move the mail boxes from mbox to maildir. I have

I am about to be migrating mail servers and have a few questions. First a little background: Old mail server: Fedora 11 dovecot-1.2.11-3.fc11.x86_64 installed from yum repo mbox mail format OpenLDAP authentication 250+ users New mail server: Fedora 13 dovecot-2.0.1-1_118.fc13.x86_64 installed from atrpm rpm file Maildir mail format OpenLDAP authentication 250+ users I plan to use dsync on the

Hello people, taken from http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/samba-bdc.html#minim-bdc > Can Samba Be a Backup Domain Controller to an NT4 PDC? > > No. The native NT4 SAM replication protocols have not yet been fully implemented. > > Can I get the benefits of a BDC with Samba? Yes, but only to a Samba PDC.The main reason for implementing a BDC is

Hi, Does someone know how will all my client machines find the BDC when the PDC is stopped. Both PDC and BDC are running Samba with LDAPSAM backend replicated on both the PDC with master LDAP database and BDC with replicated LDAP database. But when I stop PDC the clients are not detecting the BDC broadcast. The replication on all domain controllers are perfect. I went as far as making BDC

Hi, Maybe this was asked many time (although can't find it on google). Let's assume 2 scenarios: 1) I've got local network where PDC and BDC are set up. PDC is working fine so the BDC is. When it's possible for any XP client to use BDC instead of PDC? I read in samba docs that if PDC is slow client can use BDC - but what does it mean slow for the client? How the client knows

Hi all I have a samba PDC with LDAP with samba version 3.0.21,(domain=mydomain.com ). the samba and openldap are configured on a single system. i would like to setup samba BDC with slave LDAP server for domain mydomain.com and samba BDC is also having DNS server for domain . my query is, the nsswitch.conf and ldap.con of BDC should point to it's own LDAP server or Master LDAPserver and in

I am hoping someone can help here. I noticed a really odd issue. WINS resolution doesn't seem to work between my PDC and BDC, both Samba 3.0.14a boxes running on Debian. I have nsswitch.conf configured properly, I think. Here are the nsswitch.conf settings. PDC: hosts: files dns wins BDC: hosts: files dns wins On the BDC, I have the parameter wins server = 192.168.0.2, the address

I have a RH 7.2 PDC which uses DHCP for 2 machines on the network. My Win9x machine as a client/BDC just in case and uses a static IP. If the PDC goes down. I have to put in or take out the PDC's gateway IP and was wondering if there was a way to get ONLY the info I need from DHCP to the Win machine. To attempt to clarify, when the PDC is up, it will assign its gateway IP to the BDC (since it

Hallo, I've setup a BDC in the same subnet like my PDC. I observed that some User take the BDC to logon. The Domain-Join of some PCs will also done at the BDC. Is this behavior normal and wanted? If done so, I have to rsync the profiles or only netlogon? Best regards Matthias PDC: [global] netbios name = PDC workgroup = MyDOMAIN server string = DC (PDC) (%v)

Hi Is it possible to use single LDAP server and multiple samba servers? The problem I'm having now is Each server thinks their host name is their LDAP domain name, or sambaDomainName, and complain the user's SID is different so can't authenticate. How do I make samba servers use one domain name and SID? LDAP domain name is DOMSMB dn: sambaDomainName=DOMSMB,dc=my-domain,dc=com
