Hi All,
OI know I have sent a similar post to this before but I thought i would
update the information and approach it all in a slightly different way.
That & I can't find the old messages right now.
I eventually want to add all of my Linux boxes to my AD domain, but for
now I am focusing on one of them.
Lisa's old computer was an aging, troublesome Windows 2000 box that she
uses primarily for surfing, e-mail, chatting; but would like to also use
it to manage her iPod & download music as well. I have taken a brand
new box & installed Linux Mint 9 (based on Ubuntu 10.04) on it. I
haven't added all teh apps yet, but that is minor at this point.
I was able to install Likewise Open & get it connected to the domain in
a few minutes. Likewise also has a GUI as well, but the CLI is a simple
one line to join or leave the domain. Slick!!! She now has to logon
using "domain\username" as the username & her AD password.
Up to this point I have been using roaming profiles to stores her
Windows data (TBird/FF profiles, documents on H drive, etc.) on the
server in D:\[USERDATA]\PROFILES\Lisa & D:\[USERDATA]\HOME\Lisa, with
the appropriate information going to the correct folder.
In some of my discussions with people it was suggested that in order to
do the same thing (roaming profile) with a Linux box, that I should
create a "Profile-Linux" folder (using samaba) on the server that the
linux home directory would go in. But one problem that I would have is
having both OS's using the data for TBird, FF, My Documents, Audio,
Video, etc.
My plans have changed a bit since that point in time & I am looking to
build a NAS (any suggestions for a good NAS software?) to store
everything on instead of the server. With this in mind, I am wondering
if seperate folders are even needed or would I still need to separate
things? To complicate this further, I also lookin at adding Mac OD X to
the mix & trying to do the same things.
Rigth nwo I have Windows Server 2003 as the only server, but would like
to get it syncing with OpenLDAP running on CentOS as a BDC, until I
switch to CentOS/OPenLDAP running as the PDC & a virtualized Server 2003
as teh sendary.
So that shoudl be enough for part 1. Any one have some suggestions?
Ideas? warning? etc?
