Dear all, I searched through the Net but couldn't find a definitive answer to my question: is it possible to use Samba 3.x as a backup authentication server for Windows 2000 Server?
What I'm looking for is a way to make sure that couple of workers placed in a remote office could always log into their workstations, even when VPN connection to the main office (where W2K server is located) is broken. I know Windows workstations cache logon credentials, but that does not solve my problem as the users also have to be able to use network shares of each other's workstations. What I need is a small local server which could act as a logon server when VPN is down. Our Windows 2000 domain is running in the native mode, so a classic PDC/BDC setup is not possible without rebuilding the whole domain. All comments and ideas are warmly welcome. =) - Jyri -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
