Hey everyone. Our network has a PII 350Mhz Windows NT
server. It serves as our
PDC. It also serves our email, print and file sharing
needs. We have plans of
totally phasing out this computer.
There are two candidates for the replacement of our
PDC. One is a PIV 1.7Ghz
with 768MB of memory (hostname: Karou). This computer
is currently our intranet
web server. The other computer is a PIV 2.8Ghz with
512 MB memory (hostname:
Misau).There are several services that may be
distributed between these
computers and we have approximately 100 windows users
and 50 linux users. These
are:
1. Intranet web server
2. Email server
3. File sharing (file server) for both linux and
windows users using Samba
4. Print server for both linux and windows users
5. DNS (implementation in the near future)
6. DHCP (implementation in the near future)
7. MySQL server
8. LDAP
My problem are:
Which of the 2 computers is the best one to be used as
a PDC. Most probably,
the other one will be used as a BDC. I don't have an
experience with Samba as a
PDC before but the plan is a PDC implementation of
Samba+OpenLDAP. Our linux
computers are already using LDAP authentication.
My plan is:
Hostname: Karou (PIV 1.7Ghz, 768MB DDR)
Will serve as:
1. PDC
2. Email server
3. Print server
4. File server
5. DNS
6. DHCP
8. LDAP master
Hostname: Misau (PIV 2.8Ghz, 512MB DDR)
Will serve as:
1. Web server
2. MySQL server
3. BDC
4. LDAP slave
5. File server
Is there a better way to distribute the services
between these two?
Thanks a lot.
Sorry if this has been reposted. I got an error during
the first one.
