join my freebsd box to windows domain?
Hi all. I want to run freebsd 5.4 and join this machine to my windows 2k3 domain, i just want to browse with my freebsd machine the others windows clients and windows clients browse my box, i just want to be another machine on the domain, they are running Windows XP and others 2k. This is my first time i am going to try this, i want to know if is posible and wich software i need or where i can find some information about, i search with google, but all the examples talk about making freebsd domain member or PDC, is the only way...? Them if is posible, i will need samba software? Any information or link are welcome. NOTE: i want to setup this machine and be my backup server on my Redmond domain, this is way im investigate about this, i think that if i want to make one Unix system to be my backup system for window domain system i need to be another client on that domain, im right or wrong??? I have never than this, but i want to give a try. PDC Windows 2k3 Clients running winXP and win 2k. Freebsd 5.3 or 5.4.

Fine. Samba can authenticate against an existing Windows domain. This is my first time i am going to try this, i want to know if is posible and wich software i need or where i can find some information about, i search with google, but all the examples talk about making freebsd domain member or PDC, is the only way...? No. But it's very common to make a Unix box a PDC using Samba. Them if is posible, i will need samba software? Any information or link are welcome. www.samba.org?

You cannot have a Samba box act as a BDC for a Windows PDC, but you can join a domain as a client, and you can read and backup files on network shares if you like. However, most people would rather use a Unix/FreeBSD system as a fileserver rather than some Windows box. -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You will need to use Samba. The Samba site is very good with examples. I suggest you start there.

If you want other machines on the network to be able to browse this machine, then domain member is probably what you want.

I'm afraid Samba can only act as a BDC to a _Samba_ PDC, so it looks like you're out of luck here.

Resume like Chuck Swiger: you can join a domain as client and backup the share files This is my objective. Thanks to all of you guys, all the information is valuable, because is my first time on this field, next week is going to start this change, and iam going to start to read and make some test with current system. IfI i find some problems i will can back i give you the problems or success of my process.
