Re: [Samba] syncing file dates between windows nt4 and samba 3.0
If you are just trying to backup the files from NT to SAMBA, I'd use xcopy /m instead. /m copies files with the archive attribute set, and then turns off the archive attribute. That way you don't have to worry about the dates.

I am running an NT4 domain with 7 domain controllers. We are about to open a new clinic and I am planning to use SAMBA running on RedHat 8 (or maybe 9) there. The plan is to eventually migrate from NT Server to SAMBA for file/print. I have a few users that logon from different locations but due to WAN speed we aren't using roaming profiles right now. I could set up this remote location as its' own domain but when I get switched completely to SAMBA I'd like to centralize management as much as possible. I'm leaning toward using LDAP and setting up the new location as a separate domain.
