Re: [Samba] Configuring New Replacement Server For Samba
Hi, I did not get a response for the below, I was just wondering if this is not the right place for this question can someone suggest another mailing list.

Re: [Samba] Configuring New Replacement Server For Samba
run the testparm -v command - that will show you the location of key files and directories including smb.conf private directory (which typically contains the smb passwd file) the lock and cache directory or directories (which include various TDB files.) netlogon directory (including netlogon scripts) profile directory (if applicable) You should not need to rejoin. But you should assume that the config for 3.5.x. may need to be tweaked to work with 3.6.x. Non-samba files will include things like /etc/host and /etc/resolv.conf. When you replace one machine with another machine with the same ip, existing machines may not be able to connect to the new machine until the old arp entries expire. Shd be less than one hour but more than 30 seconds.

Re: [Samba] Configuring New Replacement Server For Samba
Thanks for the response. I down graded my samba version to the same as my old server. I remember having a hard time getting samba to work with older versions. The 3.5.x version was the only one I could get it to work with.
