Hi Martin, Many thanks for the feedback. Maybe I will try and produce a guide while I work to help others who are stuck in the same way.
Would you mind confirming if your working set-up was built from source, or using the packages? Also, did you run a separate LDAP backend or did you point SOGo, etc to Samba. (I see some notes about doing this on page 6 of the PDF document you mentioned.) Regards, James Sefton Phase 5 Communications Ltd.

Is there a recommended OS? Hi, Good news first: - it is definitely possible to build a working Samba4/Openchange installation on Ubuntu 12.04, have no experience with CentOS . Bad news: - none of the guides out there seems to be complete and error-free so to get to working system you must combine information from various sources and understand what you are doing in each step. To get to working system I used both openchange cookbook and iabsis article with addition of sogo outlook setup PDF documentation. I will write a complete tutorial based on iabsis packaged install guide on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS when I have a bit of time .... ... just quickly from memory, problematic parts which you should concentrate on were: - IMAP server setup - dovecot - missing vmail user creation - missing openchange_newuser step where user accounts are enabled Hope this helps, Martin.

The outlook clients I have used so far are 2003 and 2007. I have seen very frequent crashing (of samba) on both, requiring me to restart samba in all cases for any further connections. I have made 4 attempts at setting this up so far. The first two were on Ubuntu 13.10, one from source using the guide on the openchange website and the other using the packages provided by Inverse. I then noticed that your cookbook states that the guide is tested with Ubuntu 12.04.1, so I repeated the process both from source and with the packages again on 12.04.1 and still seem to have the same issues. My current build is 12.04.1 from source, following the guide here: http://www.openchange.org/cookbook/initializing.html There are options given near the start of the tutorial for building either samba or samba-git. I have been using samba as I assume that is the most recent stable release and since I want to put this into production, I don't really want to use a nightly/unstable build. Before connecting outlook I used the sogo webmail interface to send an email to myself. This arrived in the sogo interface. When I connected the Outlook (2007) client it got as far as "All folders up to date" but the email that was showing in the sogo webmail did not appear in outlook. At this point I tried to send an email to myself using the sogo frontend and samba crashed. The samba log is huge, but the last few lines show this: MAPI Rop: 0x77 (30) MAPI Rop: 0x78 (36) emsmdbp_object_open_folder: opening openchangedb folder emsmdbp_object_open_folder: opening base mapistore folder mapistore_add_context_ref_count: context_is to increment is 4 /usr/local/samba/sbin/samba: Uncaught exception NSInvalidArgumentException, reason: Tried to add nil to array dcesrv_exchange_nsp_unbind dcesrv_exchange_emsmdb_unbind dcesrv_exchange_nsp_unbind dcesrv_exchange_emsmdb_unbind I also made a couple of previous attempts (on both 13.10 and 12.04.1) using a guide I found on the web. https://iabsis.com/EN/article/35/Samba4-and-OpenChange-on-a-Debian-or-Ubuntu-server/ I experienced similar problems with this too. Looking through the comments on this site I see that others are having the same difficulty and there was a response saying that crashing was common on Ubuntu, but running on CentOS is stable. Before I use up anyone's time trying to figure out what is wrong here - am I using the wrong OS? If you guys develop and do your primary testing on CentOS then I am happy to switch to that if it is going to make life easier. Is there a recommended or primary OS that this project works best on? Would appreciate any suggestions as I have been trying for almost a month now and have been unable to produce a stable solution.
