Hi Samba Team,
We are currently running on Samba 2.2.3a version. As part of the technology
upgrade, management is willing to upgrade the current samba versions of in
production machines. Can you please tell me how long I can use the 2.2.3a
version? And if you suggest me to upgrade to a higher version, which
version will best suite for us ?.
You can use any version of Samba for any reason as long as it's
useful to you, that's why it's Free Software !
I'd suggest to keep up with the latest releases though if you
can, as they have the latest security fixes.
Jeremy.
I'm not part of the team but I have been using Samba for many years. My
experience is the upgrade from 2.2 to 3.0 will likely be quite smooth. I
highly recommend doing it. I believe, and someone on the team should be
able to verify this, that you can keep 2.2.x member servers in a 3.0
domain, if that helps with your migration.
I would assume that your technology upgrade likely includes new servers
and new operating systems. If so, the new operating system probably
comes with a version of Samba that you should use. Your OS vendor will
be providing security updates to the version they ship. Again, this is
almost certainly a 3.0.x version.
