Hallo,
I'm running a W2K AD network with about 20 clients (mostly Windows
XP machines, some Ubuntu 10.04 clients). I also have a couple of samba
servers (debian 5) which are joined to the domain.
I need to upgrade from W2K to something which is not EOL.
The AD server is also a print server for the domain.
I only have about 20 user accounts, so recreating them from scratch
would be not a big problem.
Also, the user profiles are not stored on the server (no roaming profiles).
I read samba4 is still in alpha stage (alpha14 is listed on the wiki),
but in terms of functionality provided is would the best replacement for
my AD server.
I would be glad to hear from someone who has done the switch from W2K AD
to samba3 or samba4. Also, any advice or success/failure stories in
similar setups would be great.
Thanks in advance.
This (Windows 2000 -> Samba4) certainly has been made to work, multiple
times. Those successful migrations that I know of were via Windows 2003
due to an odd Kerberos interop issue between Samba4 and Windows 2000.

Andrew,
thanks for your response. Now that you mention it, I remember
having read something about the need to pass through 2K3 to land on
samba4. I'll investigate that detail (obviously I'd prefer to avoid
setting up a 2K3 server just to migrate...)
Would you then recommend going to samba4 instead of the (apparently)
more stable samba3 (samba4 being alpha as of today ?).
Thanks again.
