Hi all,
I've got a customer who has 2 x NT4 servers. They already have quite
a few Samba 2 and Samba 3 servers acting in Domain/Winbind role using
authentication of the NT4 PDC.
I want to replace the PDC with a Samba 3 server and get rid of the
aging NT4 PDC. Problem is that there are few (financial) legacy
applications that must be run on a Microsoft platform (namely on the
BDC server).
Should I keep the BDC server and promote it to a PDC, then having all
the Samba servers point to it for authentication?
Or should I create a new domain with Samba as the master and make the
BDC a member of this new domain?
Either way it's a migration process, any ideas, suggestions?
