[Samba] migration to new server
I need to migrate some 40 workstations over to a new server... I have googled this for the best part of an hour, and others have had this issue and nobody seemed to have an answer. The old server uses smbpasswd, the new server uses LDAP. I am trying to write a script that reads the file and sets up these accounts on the LDAP server, but I cannot seem to get the machine accounts to work. I cannot rejoin 40 workstations, this would be a nightmare. The only way I can get a workstation to like the new server is to rejoin it, despite the fact that the new server has the same name, SID, etc. Specifically, I get errors like: _net_auth2: creds_server_check failed. Rejecting auth request from client HENRY2006 machine account HENRY2006$ What so I need to enter into LDAP to get it to like the workstations? I have entries such as: test$:1043::D461D2204D7CECDED9847D069C1E822D:[W ]:LCT-45B7DA08: I am using the 4th field here as the sambaNTPassword in LDAP. Is this correct? What do I need to do to migrate these machine accounts? -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
Re: [Samba] migration to new server
Hi all, I did not get a response to this posting so I just went for it. FYI: it worked fine. Copied the files I mentioned in the original post to the new server and brought the original server down. The brought the new server up and all worked great. Also I migrated to Centos 4.1 instead of FC3. All is working good. Thanks! Best regards, +--+ | Richard Houston .^. | | R.L.H.
