Hi All,
At present I am running a largeish (~450 stations) NT based network
(with win2k/XP clients) in a school in the UK, and I am looking into the
feasability of moving to samba 3+LDAP over the summer. Has anyone had
much experience of this, and are there any major problems? My concerns
are with the following:
- Seamless transition from NT to Samba without having to re-add user
accounts, change passwords, re-add workstations to the domain etc. - I
get the impression that there are scripts to do this automagically
- The possibility of setting up several domains based on different
sections of the tree - for instance creating an admin domain that draws
its users from the staff branch list, and a curriculum domain that draws
its users from the 'everyone at the school' branch.
- adding MacOS X machines
I already run Linux to do everything except domain logins and printing -
this is the next sensible step
any top tips/experiences on this matter would be gratefully recieved
cheers
Jim Potter
