HP CIFS Server 3.0b Release Note version A.02.01.01

HP CIFS Server Release Note
Behavior Differences Between HP CIFS Server A.01.* and A.02.*
Chapter 114
• The join domain command
In A.02.*, the "smbpasswd -j domain_name -r PDC_hostname -U
administrator%passwd"command used to join a domain has been
replaced by net commands.
The Windows NT domain or Windows 2000 mixed mode domain uses
the "net join -j domain_name -U Administrator%passwd”
command, or the "net join -U Administrator%passwd" command
by specifying the domain name with the workgroup parameter in the
smb.conf file.
The Windows 2000 ADS domain, under Kerberos configuration uses
the "net ads join -j domain_name -U Administrator%passwd"
command, or the "net ads join -U Adminitrator%passwd”
command by specifying the domain name with the workgroup
parameter in the smb.conf file.
• The LDAP schema has been enhanced. If you choose to use the LDAP
backend, you must choose between continuing with your current
schema or moving to an updated schema. Set the passwd backend
parameter to ldapsam://<ldap server name> in the smb.conf file
if you choose to use the updated schema. Set the passwd backend
parameter to ldapsam_compat://<ldap server name> if you want
to use the current schema.
• A.02.* versions cannot join A.01.* domains. Some mixing of A.01.*
and A.02.* versions is permitted because A.01.* version servers can
be member servers to an A.02.* PDC, but A.02.* cannot serve as a
BDC or member server to an A.01.* PDC. A.02.* version servers also
cannot be member serves to an Advance Server/9000 (ASU) PDC.
