Hello all! I currently have a small Windows NT 4 domain (named OLD_NETWORK). All files are stored on a UNIX server (running Solaris) running Samba 2.2. Runs perfect. No problems. Samba's only job in my network is JUST TO STORE AND SERVE OUT FILES to PCs. Samba does not run as a PDC. Merely validates valid users to get their files off UNIX server. I believe this is the simplest possible Samba scenario! I am going to join a neighboring departement's new Active Directory (named NEW_NETWORK). I already merged one PC and one user into the new AD using Microsoft's Active Directory Migration Tool. The user and computer migrated perfectly. The user logs onto the new AD (NEW_NETWORK) and can get their files off UNIX server via Samba just as before. Perfect! It's like nothing has changed! But what will happen when I turn off the OLD_NETWORK NT 4 servers??? I assume the users I migrated will still be able to access their files right (I can just pull the network cables from OLD_NETWORK to test that out)? Also, with OLD_NETWORK turned off, how will I be able to add a new user and still have Samba let them in to read/write files on UNIX server? Right now Samba is currently validating users by looking at the PDC of OLD_NETWORK. Can I change how Samba validates users? Maybe I can list them out user by user for Samba? HELP!
