Hello guys
Today I've joined a new team in a association who deliver services to small companies, one of best way to have cheap services and get some experience on different solutions.
I'm mostly working on infrastructure (storage, network, security, and Microsoft when it comes to applications etc.).
Today I'm faced with a customer who has 5 differents servers, different distros, different versions etc.
srv1: fedora core 9, openldap 2.4.10, samba 3.2.11 (virtualized, P2V has been done last summer)
srv2: fedora core 6, openldap 2.3.30, samba 3.0.24 (virtualized, P2V has been done last summer)
srv3: CentOS 6, openldap 2.4.39, samba 3.6.23 (physical)
srv4, srv5 : fedora core 6, openldap 2.3.27, samba 3.0.23 (physical)
Problem is ... guy who setup this infrastructure left, no documentation, no updates since then.
And I'm struggling with a simple problem, they can't add Windows 7 PC into their domain.
And moreover, if there is anything to update.
You can guess how shocked I was when I saw this.
What you guys would do if you were faced to this?
I'm thinking about trying to update fedora core 9 to 10 to get samba updated to >3.2.12 to get Windows 7 compatibility.
And then ... deploy new virtual machines for a new and proper openldap/samba.
I read there are some huge differences between samba3 and samba4, moreover, I would have to re-setup openldap replication etc.
:)
