If anyone would have any input on the following I'd appreciate it. There are currently 9 linux servers in production where I work, about 6 of them do file sharing for over 1500 users. Everything is running great, not a single problem on the whole network. I got word about two months ago that our entire network infrastructure would be moving to Active Directory. I started freaking out thinking we were going to lose all our servers, but then the beta came out with AD support. So I compiled the beta on a FreeBSD box and a Linux box, and by the end of the day everything was working great in our test environment.
So I thought I had saved all of our Linux boxes. But it seems that management is worried about having Linux boxes in the new structure. There are a few things they need to know, basically: 1.) How having linux boxes in AD affects replication 2.) If it is possible to authenticate against the Linux boxes without actually joining the AD domain I personally can't see any problem in the boxes actually joining the domain, but my thoughts alone aren't going to convince them. I need proof that it won't adversely affect the operation of the network. So if anyone would have any input on the above points I would be grateful, or else I'm out of a job next year :-( -- Thanks, Rob [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
