Hi Arnel, Why not make the second server as a backup domain controller first so that you can "vampire" the accounts from the PDC to the BDC. That way you would have transfered the accounts safer than just copying the files from your PDC. You can then promote it to PDC once done.

Have you ran testparm on your new server? Also, what db backend are you using for samba? Whatever it is you have to replicate this also to your new server, unless you're giving all your users new samba accounts/passwords. --- mike t.

This is what I hate in debian... because once you've set it up it will work as it is it won't gives you any headache. This is the scenario: I have setup samba as my domain controller over my xp, oxs, and linux lab in my debian server. 1. The debian server is quiet old 2. The hard disk is full My solution: 1. I setup a new server with a new hard disk now. 2. I was able to install debian again.. and setup the rest of the features that I run on my old server. Problem: 1. I can't find my documentation how i make samba as domain controller. 2. As far I know the how to in samba.org site doesn't help me much before when I setup the samba as domain controller. 3. I can't find the how to that helped me before when I set it up. Any idea please.... since my mind is clog at the mean time what to do.. Thanks, Arnel :) -- " Seek yee first the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you" Linux user # 277784 PLUG, Member _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/plug Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
