Please forgive newness here. Have accepted job as
network administrator coming from a helpdesk type
position. One task in front of me is upgrading
an NT domain. I want to use Samba to replace it, and
have been reading the Howto, FAQ's etc.
The current NT domain is a singularly named "WMHS"
left over from before organization got a dedicated
Internet connection. Now they have a dedicated
connection and their own domain name, let's say
"wmcare.org", but it is not used inside the internal
network (NAT inside a firewall); it is simply for
email addresses hosted at our ISP.
My question is:
Assume I move to a Samba PDC to replace NT PDC and
start using LDAP. LDAP requires "real" DNS server
internally. How does this affect users who have
Win2k/XP and Control Panel->System->Domain->"WMHS"
entries? Will those have to be modified as well to
"wmcare.org" and reflect what new Samba server
uses? Or can they be left as "WMHS".
I guess my question really is must the domain that
Samba uses be the same as what the DNS entry is?
Thank you for replies.
