Not thinking about migrating back due to issues, it is more due to implementation needs and a little situation I have been wrestling with with for a bit now, and would love some feedback
First a little history: We currently have 10 locations connected via a dedicated 1/2 T-1. Last year I migrated from a WINNT domain to a Samba/LDAP domain. It has been running great. Basically did this for license reasons as well as reduced administrative horror. NOW: We have just started to roll out Thinstation thin-clients that are connecting to Win TSRV servers. What is being planned is 1 Terminal Server per location. This will significantly reduce the adminstrative nightmare on multiple Windows boxes and centralize it. However, this is where I start to feel that I am having too many servers per location, seeing that the windows server could do what the Samba server is doing, I am in debate about moving back to windows (I have will need to licenses and boxes there anyhows) One other option is just ot house a ginormous WIN-TSRV at the central location. However, I am afraid of issues with printing back to the remote locations (pushing large files through the 1/2 T-1 to print). Another option is to remove the samba servers from the remote location, and just have a samba PDC with authenticating windows tsrv machines. - I dont like this option for some reason I really dont want to move away from the SAMBA backend, but at the same time dont want to stay with it just because I 'like it' and I 'want to'. So I am looking for discussion/arguements as to why I should stay with the Samba server and a win-tsrv server, as opposed to just moving to a MS backend.
