Lionel, >From the end-user's perspective, it's better if they don't have to change anything on their end. If you turn off a Windows server, and fire it up on Linux/390 with the same netbios name, when the users come in on Monday, if everything was done right, they shouldn't notice anything different. At some point in the future, you can consider consolidating the virtual servers into fewer ones, but that's always a pain for everyone. If I wasn't seeing too much overhead running them as separate systems, I would leave them alone.

Is it better to do a one for one (windows server to linux samba server) or to take some number of windows servers into a single samba server? thx -------------------------------------------------------------------- Lionel B.
