Hiya, never done this, so I thought I'd ask before I break some stuff seriously.
It is possible that I'm asking a really stupid question(TM), but I hope that you'll tell me if that's the case... I have a Ubuntu server in production that is running samba without domain logons. All users are connected as guests. I want to migrate to it being a domain server, but I don't want to break everything immediately... I want to turn domain logons on, but before I do, will this kill all the clients, require accounts or any such major impact, or can I just turn it on and the clients will be able to connect as they have as a guest? Where might I locate a process that will allow me to migrate from this essentially peer-to-peer environment into one where the server is a pdc? I've found plenty of documents that talk about the process in a new network, but I cannot afford to bring down all the work-stations and create accounts and distribute passwords on day one. By way of background, I'm wanting to enable the server as a PDC which will allow me to run automatic logon scripts that do some smart stuff with running a hardware audit (with msinfo32) and then starting to synchronise and standardise the workstations by moving the documents stored locally onto the server. This is part of a bigger process that eventually will see everyone with a Ubuntu workstation, but I cannot do that overnight. -- Onno Benschop Connected via Optus B3 at S31°54'06" - E115°50'39" (Yokine, WA) -- ()/)/)() ..ASCII for Onno.. |>>? ..EBCDIC for Onno.. --- -. -. --- ..Morse for Onno..
