Hello, Hopefully I'm in the right place asking for help :-) I need to move from an old physical Suse 8.2 - samba 2.2.7 + ldap - to latest samba versions, I would like to use an ubuntu 8.04 virtual machine.
The domain is in production on the physical server, to be dismissed after migration. It is also the file server!!! so /DATA/ has all shared and permission driven file access.. I was following https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/samba-dc.html but I realize I am in a different scenario... Production so no errors are admitted :-(, migration to new os and versions.. all at once? I have a dump of the physical server (dd sda mbr and single partitions :) plus an rsync with all permissions daily backup, just to be safe ;) What would you guru's suggest as a strategy? Can I create a new server and add it as secondary domain controller and then once the replica is up? I'd feel quite comfortable with this method. BTW I need a new version of samba as they have already bought Windows 7 boxes (without asking if they were supported arrgh). Thanks to all of you who read or answered :-) Gio -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
