You have to configure linux server as additional domain controller. Instead of ‘samba-tool domain provision’ you would run ‘samba-tool domain join DC’. This way you will reuse existing user accounts already present in your 2000R2 domain. I would strongly recommend to backup your AD in WindowsServer beforehand. You will need to transfer FSMO role “schema” to your openchange linux server before you are able to run ‘openchange_provision’ I believe you can seize the role back to your PDC after schema extension. Please be aware of some limitations of openchange at the moment - mainly - automatic mailbox update does not work. This means that users are not notified upon new email reception and they have to press “Update folder” (SHIFT-F9) in order for new mails to appear. I hope this to be resolved in Openchange 2.2 (not yet released) but not sure. Hope this helps, Best Regards Martin. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.openchange.org/listinfo/devel
