Samba-Seminar und Workshops

Samba and LDAP Directory Deployment

This Seminar reviews the Samba-3 by Example book network examples. Each network design is discussed with respect to deployment objectives and will review alternative ways that Samba-3 can be configured to achieve them.

At least half of the seminar will deal with implementation of OpenLDAP for the Samba-3 passdb backend, UNIX and Windows management tools, integration scripts, and backup/restore methodologies.

The event will conclude with an overview of Windows NT4 migration to Samba-3 and Samba-3 integration into MS Windows Active Directory. This seminar will lay the groundwork for the basic and advanced Samba workshops that will follow it.

This workshop is ideal for the UNIX administrator who wants to learn how to master the integration of MS Windows clients. This one day intensive hands-on workshop provides prerequisite information for the advanced Samba workshop. Those who completed the October 2003 workshop have already mastered the material covered here.

Advanced Samba-3

This is the workshop many have asked for. Prerequisite knowledge is a working familiarity with Samba-3 (completion of the October 2003 Samba workshop is sufficient) and competence with the configuration of MS Windows client configuration.

This intensive day-long session will spend more approximately 4 hours installing and configuring OpenLDAP, the LDAP Account Manager (LAM), the Idealx LDAP Integration scripts, and Samba-3. You will build a scalable network with Samba-3 PDCs and BDCs, will implement LDAP replication, multiple LDAP backends and will learn how to deploy OpenLDAP and Samba in large network environments.

The day will conclude with an overview of Windows NT4 migration, Samba-3 ADS Domain membership, and prerequisites for building/use of Samba-3 with ADS integration.

Approximately 1.5 hours will be made available for group discussion of problems you will bring to the workshop. Do your homework! Come prepared with detailed written overviews of real-world problems you need to have solved.
