Here is a very good blog, scott Lowe, where I f found precise informations how to set up ldap/kerberos authentication over Active Directory : http://blog.scottlowe.org/2007/01/15/linux-ad-integration-version-4/ If you have windows 2003 R2, the schema has already unix attibutes (id, gid, user's home...) compliant with POSIX. You have to add the windows component 'unix identity management', no more SFU. It will appear a tab in user properties (users and computers management console) for 'unix attributes'. > How to move 1000 actual NIS users to AD ? > How to keep the same id and gid for this 1000 users ? > What's happen with nfs linux server and acess with gid and/id ? > Use the same user/password for linux and Windows clients > authentification? NFS will work if you add the windows component 'Microsoft Services for NFS'. If you still have NIS accounts on linux servers, the accounts should be indeed the same, with same id/gid. To create your 1000 accounts, you can use vbs scripts. See for example the very good book from O'Reilly 'Active Directory', or same author (Allen) 'Active Directory cookbook'. It is something in the lines : "objUser.msSFU30NisDomain = "AD_domain" objUser.uidNumber = intUid objUser.gidNumber = intGid objUser.loginShell = strShell objUser.homeDirectory = strHome objUser.SetInfo" > We test a solution who work very well.

The solution outlined in Scott Lowe blog is both standard and free (use both kerberos and ldap + samba). > > Does someone has already successfully replace NIS by Ad authentification > with freeware solution ?
