Trouble vampiring W2K3 into Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 with Samba4

[Diego Gutierrez Zaldivar]

  Thank you very much Michael. I finally got it running by saving the 
cache zones created as a slave DNS as master zones and modifying the 
BIND configuration accordingly. I think this is a pretty straight 
forward method to replace a W2K3 AD with a Samba4 AD.

Kind Regards,
Diego
