I would be pretty sure that if Windows 7 doesn't work with Samba 3.0.x that Windows 2008 won't either. Rather than compiling samba 3.4 or 3.5 from source I would go with Fedora Core 11 (samba 3.3.x) or some other more up-to-date linux distro that has a newer version of samba included. I wouldn't start anything with 3.0.xx.
I would (maybe stating the obvious) set up a test environment 1st. I did start playing with FC13 (samba 3.5)- not sure it behaved properly. I personally would stick with FC12 which I think had samba 3.4.x included- since I am pretty familiar with 3.4.x but not 3.5.x. There were definately some config changes between 3.0.x and 3.4.x (group mapping, domain trusts.)

Hi I am about to set up a Centos server with samba and an MS server 2008 for a new customer. The MS server is required because he has an MSSQL application. The samba shares will be for everything else. I've previously set up centos and redhat servers as domain members with a 2003 pdc before I get stuck, are there any issues I should worry about with server 2008? What release of samba should I run? Are there any differences in configuration compared with samba3.0.33 which comes with centos5.5 Peter No virus found in this outgoing message.
