Planning and Getting Started</A +></H1 +><P +>In the IT world there is often a saying that all problems are encountered because of +poor planning. The corrollary to this saying is that not all problems can be anticpated +and planned for. Then again, good planning will anticpate most show stopper type situations.</P +><P +>Those wishing to migrate from MS Windows NT4 domain control to a Samba-3 domain control +environment would do well to develop a detailed migration plan. So here are a few pointers to +help migration get under way.</P +><DIV +CLASS="SECT2" +><H2 +CLASS="SECT2" +><A +NAME="AEN4379" +>28.1.1. Objectives</A +></H2 +><P +>The key objective for most organisations will be to make the migration from MS Windows NT4 +to Samba-3 domain control as painless as possible. One of the challenges you may experience +in your migration process may well be one of convincing management that the new environment +should remain in place. Many who have introduced open source technologies have experienced +pressure to return to a Microsoft based platform solution at the first sign of trouble. </P +><P +>It is strongly advised that before attempting a migration to a Samba-3 controlled network +that every possible effort be made to gain all-round commitment to the change. Firstly, you +should know precisely <SPAN +CLASS="emphasis" +><I +CLASS="EMPHASIS" +>why</I +></SPAN +> the change is important for the organisation. +Possible motivations to make a change include:</P +><P +></P +><UL +><LI +><P +>Improve network manageability</P +></LI +><LI +><P +>Obtain better user level functionality</P +></LI +><LI +><P +>Reduce network operating costs</P +></LI +><LI +><P +>Reduce exposure caused by Microsoft withdrawal of NT4 support</P +></LI +><LI +><P +>Avoid MS License 6 implications</P +></LI +><LI +><P +>Reduce organisation's dependency on Microsoft</P +></LI +></UL +><P +>It is vital that oit be well recognised that Samba-3 is NOT MS Windows NT4. Samba-3 offers +an alternative solution that is both different from MS Windows NT4 and that offers some +advantages compared with it. It should also be recognised that Samba-3 lacks many of the +features that Microsoft has promoted as core values in migration from MS Windows NT4 to +MS Windows 2000 and beyond (with or without Active Directory services).</P +><P +>What are the features the Samba-3 can NOT provide?</P +><P +></P +><TABLE +BORDER="0" +><TBODY +><TR +><TD +>Active Directory Server</TD +></TR +><TR +><TD +>Group Policy Objects (in Active Direcrtory)</TD +></TR +><TR +><TD +>Machine Policy objects</TD +></TR +><TR +><TD +>Logon Scripts in Active Directorty</TD +></TR +><TR +><TD +>Software Application and Access Controls in Active Directory</TD +></TR +></TBODY +></TABLE +><P +></P +></DIV +><DIV +CLASS="SECT2" +><H2 +CLASS="SECT2" +><A +NAME="AEN4405" +>28.1.2.
