Hello, I can't find any precise technical information about how the client computer in Windows domain (NT,AD) verifies the identity of the PDC. Can you please point me to any source of relevant information or give me a brief explanation?
Situation: I'm going to replace a Windows Server 2003 PDC with samba. I've successfully extracted the PDC's ldap contents (with ldifde tool) and account passwords (ntds.dit and system hive copied, data extracted, all password hashes cracked). Problem description: If I install samba3 as PDC, populate LDAP with the data dumped from WS, copy the users' data and shut down the old PDC, would the client computers notice the change? Would I have to re-add all the computers to the new PDC or not? i.e. would the users notice the server change or not? I'm interested in behavior of Win XP, Vista, 7 and I can't install samba4. Thank you for any suggestions and pointing to further reading. M.
