It seems I have been successful in adding a LAN Server server to an NT
domain. It is normally regarded as impossible and unsupported. On the
other hand, they are both LM20 compliant. So it is not that strange.
If this really works this opens up a lot of possibilities regarding your
internal organisation of servers :-)
To set it up, I used the normal procedure to add a LM20 server to a LM20
domain controller:
1. stop the server
(NET STOP SERVER)
2. Remove the server ofrom the domain
(NET ACCOUNTS /ROLE:STANDALONE)
3. in the [requester] section, add the NT domain to DOMAIN=
4. remove the NETLOGON and LSSERVER srvservices from the [server]
section
5. logon locally as admin
6. reset the password of the server
(NET USER SERVER1 PASSWORD1)
7. to o the NT domain controller
8. add the LAN Server workstation as a userid
(NET USER SERVER1 PASSWORD1 /ADD
9. add the LAN Server workstation userid to the group SERVERS
NET GROUP SERVERS SERVER1 /ADD
10. add the server to the domain
(NET ACCOUNTS /ROLE:MEMBER)
11. add the NETLOGON to the srvservices from the [server] section
12. start the server
(NET START SERVER)
On the LAN Server box I checked a few things as NET ACCESS and NET USER
and it works all beautifully with the UADB from the NT domain.
A few time I received the error "The domain controller for this domain
can not be found". But I must admit, it was only a 2 hour setup. So I
may have easily overlooked something.
It has been noticed that the party stops when the PDC decides to change
the member server passwords. But I reckon this will be handled
normally, as the communication between the two will be according to LM20
rules.
I you want to dig into this one, please do so. Let me know what you
find, errors, caveats, etc. If it really works, it has a potentially
large impact.
Best regards,
