I'm just wondering if it's possible to replace a windows 2003 server that is only used to provide network file access (AD file sharing based on user login) with a Solaris 10 server running Java Enterprise System (JES). I will be purchasing a Solaris 10 server for hosting Java Communications Suite (JCS) for email , calendar etc. I would like to make Solaris replace our WIndows 2003 file server, therefore consolidating the users accounts to JES. The other benefit being ZFS, superior backup facilitation and of course security and stability. I have notices JES supports AD to some extent and Solaris CIFS server will bridge the gap between Windows file sharing/ACL's and those of UNIX/Linux (posix).
But what I want to know is can it REPLACE my Windows 2003 AD server and where do I start, is there perhaps a nice walk-through? Has anybody achieved this yet? P.S. I know this is OpenSolaris forum and I'm asking about Solaris 10, but JES isn't supported on OpenSolaris (the way forward) yet ;-( -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
