Re: [Samba] Question about switching from Windows 2k Server to SAMBA 3 under Centos
My understanding is that vampire will NOT work with a Windows 2k server, only an NT4 server... That's my understanding too. Samba (3.x) can't act as a AD domain server. It can be a member of an AD domain, thou. I've never actually tried this myself, so take it with a grain of salt, but isn't 2k capable or running in two different modes? One where it is pure AD and one where it is compatible with NT4? If it was in NT4 mode then might not vampire have a chance? Or am I thinking of some 2k-2k3 change maybe? *Michael Heydon - IT Administrator * [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

If the samba service is a member of the AD domain, is it possible to setup the server as a BDC and transfer the information that way. If that is possible, are there any documents as to how this can be done?

Samba-3 is not able to be a domain controller within an Active Directory tree, and it cannot be an Active Directory server. This means that Samba-3 also cannot act as a BDC to an Active Directory domain controller. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
[Samba] Question about switching from Windows 2k Server to SAMBA 3 under Centos
Greetings List, I'll begin by outlining what it is that I have to do. First, I have a windows 2k server that is currently on its last legs. It holds a list of users, groups and shares that are still required after the migration to a Linux based server. I've heard of a command called 'vampire' that extracts the required users and groups, though as of yet have been unsuccessful in getting this to work. I've also setup an OpenLDAP server with LDAP Account Manager and can input data manually, though for some weird reason, vampire just doesn't want to work. My questions are: 1) What is required for the smb.conf to get it talking to the windows 2k server? 2) What other environment configuration is required to get vampire to work correctly?
