Here's what I have been trying to do and it hasn't been working
correctly.
We had a Windows Server 2003 DC. I had to upgrade it because of some
problems we were having and upgraded to Windows Server 2008 R2. After
that,
my Samba 3 with Winbind file server quit authenticating to the AD
domain and
try as I might I couldn't get it to work. This is largely because
even
though we have a perfectly good DC, all of our workstations are just
in a
giant workgroup (and management just won't give in and let me change
it).
After playing with Likewise and samba for a bit I gave up that bag
and
thought I would give Samba4 a try. So far I am really liking what I
am
seeing. I realize that we are still in beta land, but what we have so
far
may just work for what I want to do. I have been trying to find a
good
guide to configure the smb.conf file but haven't really found
anything.
Well, why don't you let us know what it is you are trying to do?
I believe it's currently best to have a Samba 3 member server joined
to the Samba 4 domain for file serving rather than doing the file
serving from Samba 4. Of course I don't really see how joining Samba
4 to the domain will help get Samba 3 working :)
Perhaps you should provide more details on what is going wrong with
Samba 3 <-> Win2k8r2.
By the way, successful install on ubuntu 10.04 x64 server that
formally had
samba 3 and winbind on it that were installed from aptitude.
Do you mean that you installed Samba 4 from the Ubuntu repositories?
If so, rather install from Git or perhaps Alpha 14 as per the Samba 4
HOWTO.
Any help would be appreciated.
The samba-technical mailing list is currently the best place to ask
about issues with samba 4.
