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

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

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

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 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

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

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 \

Back in January we upgraded/moved our domain from an old install of samba and openldap to a newer version (samba 3.5.10 and openldap 2.4.23) while also moving our domain to a new name. On the old domain, which was setup before I got here, our IT section was in an ldap group that allowed us to join PC's to the domain and when the prompt came up in windows to install software we could log in as

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

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

I am looking for a way to enforce our password policy using our PDC with OpenLDAP. I have already configured ppolicy, just can not find a way to make it enforce it on the windows clients. Searches turn up little to go on. I must be searching for the wrong terms. Anyone have any pointers?

We are looking to migrate from our current mail server running dovecot-1.2.11-3 to a new mail server running the latest dovecot (2.0.9?). So this would not only be a version change but also a machine change. We currently use Maildir for storing mail and would like to stay that way. Has anyone preformed such a feat and it worked? Looking for any input.

Hi all, We currently have a Fedora 11 machine (about to be upgraded to Fedora 15 though) running Samba 3.4.7 as our PDC and multiple BDC "home servers" running various versions of samba and OS. What I am needing is a fail proof way to migrate the PDC function off the current machine and onto another new fresh install. Currently our PDC is also the home server for one of our

Hello, We have been running a samba pdc with LDAP backend setup here at work since "before my time" (a few years now). Recently it has became necessary to move a handful of users to their own server for shares, profiles, and such to reduce the load on the primary server. Of these users, all moved just fine with the exception of one user. All the users that were moved are

Choose Ldap authentification, Ldap-Properties fill in your Ldap-Server = and Search-Base. Copy the files from the old server to the new with rsync. Stop samba/ldap on the old server Start ldap start samba on the new. And you are running. In my case I moved my samba from an old sidux to viruell centos5.5 on windows 2008 Server. =20 ----------------------------------------------- EDV Daniel

I have nic bonding (mode=802.3ad) setup on 2 servers, both running Centos 5.5 In the "Active Aggregator Info", on one reports 4 ports - which is correct - but the other only reports 3 ports. It''s always eth0 that shows a different aggregator ID. Changing the cables around so it hits a different port on the switch makes no difference. The switch is correctly configured for the

We are currently setting up a new domain with samba 3.5.10 and openldap 2.4.23 (based off of Centos 6.3). The current domain is running older versions, 3.4.7 and 2.4.15 respectively. We are changing domain names also. There is alot of layout changes and the way it works. One change we are implementing is combining all the BDC's/home servers into one and moving them to the PDC. On the old

I am trying to get the advanced functionality of managesieve working for our users. If this is not the proper place to ask this, please just say so. I have enabled sieve and it works just fine for basic moving messages to folders. However the problem comes in to play when a user selects something like "delete" or "mark as read" in the filter. It just simply does not do that

Hello all. I am in need of some guidance. First a little background. Currently our mail server is on physical hardware (Dell server with 2x 2.8GHz Xeon w/ 4GB ram, raid5 array, single gigabit nic) running on Fedora 11 and postfix-2.5.6-3.fc11.x86_64 with dovecot-1.2.11-3.fc11.x86_64. Mailstore is via Maildir format that was converted from mbox about a year ago. This same machine is also our PDC
