At present I am running a largeish (~450 stations) NT based network (with win2k/XP clients) in a school in the UK, and I am looking into the feasability of moving to samba 3+LDAP over the summer. Has anyone had much experience of this, and are there any major problems? My concerns are with the following:
- Seamless transition from NT to Samba without having to re-add user accounts, change passwords, re-add workstations to the domain etc. - I get the impression that there are scripts to do this automagically
- The possibility of setting up several domains based on different sections of the tree - for instance creating an admin domain that draws its users from the staff branch list, and a curriculum domain that draws its users from the 'everyone at the school' branch.
- adding MacOS X machines
I already run Linux to do everything except domain logins and printing - this is the next sensible step
any top tips/experiences on this matter would be gratefully recieved
cheers
