Message-ID: <43452C495F09D048BF7CE9F96B65688E08A69E@sbs.Puryear-IT.local> I'm looking for some help in reinstalling a server in Shreveport. We'd rather not make the drive. Know any IT techs in or around Shreveport? We just need a reinstall of Windows 2003 at the LSU-S data center, which shouldn't take more than 2-3 hours. -- Dustin Puryear President and Sr. Consultant Puryear Information Technology, LLC 225-706-8414 x112 http://www.puryear-it.com Author, "Best Practices for Managing Linux and UNIX Servers" http://www.puryear-it.com/pubs/linux-unix-best-practices/ From joe at fruchey.net Mon Mar 30 21:36:57 2009 From: joe at fruchey.net (Joe Fruchey) Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2009 21:36:57 -0500 Subject: [brlug-general] Samba as a domain controller Message-ID: <65ef39b10903301936k7f70f7a2h94bc749068721e3a@mail.gmail.com> I've been doing Windows desktop support for ten or twelve years. At work, it's basically me and the server/networking guy. Well, he got a better offer, so he's out the door after Wednesday, which means I'm basically shoehorned into the server/network admin position. It's a role I've wanted to take on for years now, and I'm really excited about it. TMI, sorry. Anyhow, I'm finally in a position where I can make decisions, and I've always wondered how feasible Samba would be as a domain controller in a real-world environment. We have about 500 users and 300 computers. What advantages would it offer over Windows Server 2008's Active Directory? (Free being the primary example.) Thanks, guys.
