[K12OSN] smb, active directory,home dir

[Burroughs, Henry]

Mark,

I'm moving in that direction too.  AD speaks ldap, so you could export information into LDIF format.  I've added a custom schema to my AD so I have unix attributes... so I currently do LDAP/kerberos authentication against AD (which means I want to export all my unix info from AD, and shove it into openLdap so I don't have to re-permission everything).

Do you use exchange?  I unfortunately do, and I either will move to open-xchange, SUSE open-exchange, Groupwise, or ::shudders:: keep exchange and  create a small AD domain that does a NT domain trust of the samba domain (it has been done before, I've seen some postings on the Net somewhere).

You will have to reset all the passords, as I know of no way to retrieve them from the abyss of AD.

Henry

Does anyone have or know of a writeup on how to get away from AD to 
samba/ldap and how to direct a K12LTSP to a home/roaming profiles 
server. The more I learn about AD, The more I lose sleep.
