Hi,
We have an old samba server, 2.2.8a, running on freebsd 4.9, as a PDC.
There's currently a temporary, standalone mode, win2008r2 with an (mssql)
app that for full utility requires running on a ADC. I have very little
experience with AD. An older version of mssql and the app were running on a
standalone win2k server, which is still available if needed.
I've found various recommendations and documentation for moving from samba
3.x to win2003 using Active Directory Migration Tool. From what I've read
it' s possible, although user passwords get reset.
Can anyone advise me if version 2.28a can be successfully migrated using
ADMT? I'm thinking the signorseal issue in 2.x might cause problems. I'd
really prefer not to upgrade to a 3.x version, both because there may be
compatibility problems on fbsd 4.9, and resource issues--the samba machine
is currently also a sendmail server and I'd like to avoid doing anything to
it until we have another server in place.
Have you considered using the upcoming Samba 4.0, which is able to act
as a active directory domain controller ?
A couple of organization have used it production, some for a couple of
years now with some success.
