Moving from Samba domain to AD
(Sorry, posted in the wrong forum before) I am working on moving our exchange 5.5 and samba domain environment to Win2k8R2 and Exchange 2010. I've hit lots of obstacles as expected as we have around 200 users to mange and keep active whilst doing the migration, and have now decided that the best way forward now is to do a temporary migration to windows 2003 first. I have in the past managed to setup fully working trusts between samba and windows 2003 but I have a few difficulties this time round, even though I'm almost there, I just need some help to get me over this particular hurdle. Here's the situation: Domain A is a samba domain and currently all the desktops, servers, users etc are in this domain. Domain B is an active directory domain based on windows 2003R2. As far as the trust setup goes, two way trusts have been setup and are supposed to be working, but seems to work faultlessly one way, but partially the other way, let me expand on this. If I log onto an XP workstation which is in domainB (AD) I can see both domains in the drop down list of domains at logon and I can access resources in both domains, no problems there When I log onto an XP workstaion which is in domainA (Samba), I can only see resources in that domain, and the drop down list of domains at the logon screen only shows one domain. Now this is the strange bit, if I log onto a windows 2003 server in domainA (Samba) I can see resources in both domains and I can see bothe domain names in the drop down list of domains. Wins and DNS seem to be working fine, so I am at a loss to see what is going on. Does anybody have any troubleshooting tips that I can go through or other gems of wisdom that might fix this problem with the XP machines? Thanks in advance
