Hello to all:
We have an NIS/NFS network with NetApps for primary storage and backup, mostly workgroup-based workstations, with a mixture of Windows boxen ranging from 9x - XP. We also need to have clear-text password enabled for drive mappings.
The XP users are unable to map drives to the NetApps due to Microsoft's changes to SMB. Thus, we have a temporary workaround of having them map to a UNIX server instead.
What have people with XP done to resolve this NetApps/SMB problem? How about those people especially in workgroup-based environments?
What pros/cons is there to a Samba-based DC solution vs a Windows-based DC solutions?
Our DNS is UNIX-based and we will not turn on dynamic DNS. We also upstream our DNS info to a master primary out of our control.
Thanks for any insight.
Scott
