Hey,
I currently run Windows Server 2008 at my office, but I'm looking to test Samba as a PDC for future reference/consulting work. Before I go and try to configure Samba, I wanted to ask if anyone can think of pitfalls I would run into and perhaps recommend a better setup:
- <10 PCs running either Windows XP, Vista, or 7.
- VirtualBox running Debian (planning on swapping for Fedora) on a Windows XP Home computer.
- Computers are connected to a large switch, which is connected to a wireless router. The Windows server doesn't employ ICS (essentially is just a $1500 PDC ).
Any suggestions are welcome. Also, does anyone know where I could find a .ovm format image of a windows server installation? I'm guessing vmware would work in this regard, but I'm not fond of using purposely crippled software.
