[Samba] samba - what happens if I say local master = No for samba 3

Thu Mar 13 07:11:03 MDT 2014

Yes same amount of Pc's... but will the two servers be able to run parallel
on the network? Need to know if it will affect the PC's logon ability if I
say (no) to domain master on samba3 and also if I have Samba4 running will
the samab3 PC's not ry and authenticate against samba 4 ?

This is scary

I think you will need to go machine by machine anyway because you are
changing the domain name.  I always like the idea of doing a clean install
and then moving what "needs" to be moved.  Like you said, 60 users isn't
that bad.  How many workstations, same amount?

Hi all, another question on my roadmap to samba 4.

I must admit that I am a bit scared of doing the migration from samba 3 to
samba 4 and wondered if there is a simplified process that can be followed
instead of the wiki...

What happens if I selected (NO) in my samba3 config file ( local master = No
) and I Installed and booted a second server with samba4 on it... Will they
be able to run parallel together?

What I then do is to do a PC migration (one by one) onto the new server?

60 users are not that mush if there is no downtime. I can set out a week or
two and transfer the user's data to the new server... Join their PC's to the
new domain controller etc...

Or do you guys think we should rather follow the Wiki on migrations?

Thanks
