Re: OS X Server and NT Domains

It is entirely possible, but I don't recommend using the stock Samba installation to do it. Turn off Windows services in Server Manager, and load the latest Samba build in its default location of /usr/local/* (it'll all go in there automatically if you just do the "make", "make install", etc. as the instructions direct). If you want to do it right, you'll have to spend some time reviewing the Samba documentation. We're using our MOSXS box as an NT PDC, so all our Windoze clients authenticate off of it.

If you set up Samba as you describe, I'm guessing it's no longer necessary to lock the smb.conf file (as described in KB article 106570)? Is it still necessary to turn on Authentication Manager on the OS X clients and NetInfo domain servers (as described in the Windows authentication section of "Understanding NetInfo")? Do you need to maintain a separate user database for the Windows clients, or can that be synched with the OS X usernames/passwords?

Any details would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
