[Samba] samba3 and 2003 server integration

2003-10-17 Thread brian
Hi,

Is it possible to have a Windows 2003 server as the PDC and 
corresponding Exchange server while having domain members 
being Samba 3?

I read in the how to that it can be done with a 2000 PDC but 
not sure about 2003 PDC.

This way, I reached a compermise with my client as to having 
2003 mail server/PDC while using open source stuff for the  
high speed file serving production end.

I may even have to use ldap and sendmail anyways for the 
production end which is Linux/Irix based but the glue between 
Openldap  AD and Sendmail  Exchange will be fun.

Any feedback is appreciated as usual,
Bri-
PS  Is any of this stuff regarding interoperability in the 
how to or how to book (that I ordered :)

Yes, I've done it. There are some tricks to get Red Hat 9 to talk to Win 
2k3 (having to do with the MIT Kerberos libraries) if that's your distro of 
choice. The big trick is to ensure that your Active Directory is running in 
Native Mode - NOT Native 2003 Mode (won't work). Keep in mind that, if you 
have already upgraded to Native 2003 mode, you can't revert to Native mode 
(AFAIK).

Yes.

 not sure about 2003 PDC.

Does it specifically say 2000? Or does it say 200x?

Good luck with this part.

Oooo. The feedback could be interesting! :)

Yes. Chapter 6 of the book (7 of the HOWTO) deals with domain membership.
