Re: [uug] samba as a primary Domain Controller

My main problem setting up samba the first time was that the documentation didn't have good (aka any) answers to the specific problems I was having. You'd think someone would have documented what to do if you see error X on your windows box, but apparently no one has.

So if you run into problems, let me know. At my last job I had 30 clients from Mac os 9.2 to Win95 to Win2000 to WinXP all accessing my Samba domain, and even got roaming profiles to work (But much hatred is pointed towards roaming profiles still.) It worked like a charm once it was all setup correctly.

Hey, wasn't I going to do some documentation on Samba sometime?... <blush>

Has anyone used Samba as a PDC for Windows2000 and WindowsXP professional? I've
heard that it doesn'twork that great with Windows 2000, and only works with a
big fat prayer with Windows XP. But that could have been older versions, and
it's hard to keep up with Samba development. Anyone got any hints to getting it
to work? Any experience like "Yeah it works great you just got to configure it
correctly", or "Man I had the hardest time with that, I still curse it to this
day!". I haven't really delved into it much, I just want to know if there is
anything I need to watch out for.
