<p dir="ltr">OK. Really sounds like samba 4.1 is what you need. Hit up Mike Trouche for details as he has it running in his lab and is very pleased with it.</p>

W2k8 will work with old nt4 network style but it is a rebuild to do it. Not<br>

Okay. I figured it was going to be difficult.<br>

I'm not sure if you're trying to replace the 2k8 servers with samba or run<br>
the software on a samba box. Samba 4.1 is purported to be rock solid. Might<br>
be worth a tarball install. Haven't looked at version shipping with centos7<br>
but sles should have an upgrade soon.<br>

I am waiting impatiently for SLES 12. I would prefer not to tarball it, but I'll do it if I have to.<br>
<br>
As for the server, it's a VM appliance to run the win pak server, so I'm not looking to replace it. I just want the individual desktops to be able to talk to it across the net.<br>
So, I need networking glue between all the points. Whether that's samba 4.x boxes being AD PDC and BDC or whether it's some lashup of WINS running from Samba 3.6.x, I don't know. Or it might be something I haven't thought of- those are just the ways that I thought of. As said, the quick test with 3.6.x and WINS didn't work.<br>

Don't plan on running the program on a samba box.<br>

<br>
Nope. :)<br>
