What OS are you running?
You should do the openldap upgrade separate from the samba upgrade. Depending your OS version you may have packages to update openldap or samba. If you are using linux you may have minor upgrades available as packages which may fix known bugs. You should make a complete back up of your ldap data first and have a plan to roll back. If you are compiling openldap you can compile to an alternate location from your current LDAP. You may need to copy the samba schema into the new openldap file system path . If all goes well, you should be able to stop the old ldap server process, copy data over to the file system path, and start it up. I suggest you use a spare machine to test compiling openldap (if need be) and to test importing LDAP data from a backup. I believe Samba 3.3 supports Windows 7, but I have not tried it. I have used samba 3.4.x and 3.5.x. Depending on your OS you may need to either update packages or build from scratch. You may find it easier to set up a new machine with a new version of linux (assuming linux) that already has a newer openldap and samba installed. Samba 3.4.x will have several changes in terms of machine account creation, idmap caching, and winbind caching. Also, you may need to explicitly define a "nobody" user With samba 3.4.x and 3.5.x I have a small issue with creating new machine accounts. See earlier posts to this list from my name. I have Oracle Directory Server as my ldap backend, so I think it is more of an LDAP issue then a samba issue. For the samba upgrade you may want to set up a test machine to become more familiar with the new version. You should assume that there will be some glitches during the upgrade. You may need several hours to make the cutover. Make sure you back up your configuration, spool, cache etc directories just in case you need to roll back to the previous version On 06/06/12 07:15, [email protected] wrote: > Hi, > > I run a samba 3.0.10-1.4E.2 with openldap 2.2.13 on the same server (red > hat 4) > I would like to upgrade both to be able to join win7 machine to my domain > (and because openldap crash sometimes..). > > I have no idea how to do that and I don't know if it takes lot of time. > This server is critical and can't be stop like that. > I would like to upgrade to the latest versions. > > Can someone help me or guide me ? > > Thanks. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
