Win2k3 SP2 DC With Win2k8 SUA Mapping Issues.


hi all,

been using sfu few years on domain running 2 2003 sp2 dc's sfu3.5 utilising ad unix account mapping password synchronisation using nfs server redhat , fedora clients can access shares.

have installed windows 2008 dc , have installed sua components , appear have populated unix attributes existing users.

appear have 2 issues i'm not sure how resolve.

1st,
on 2003 server "server nis" tab not list 2008 nis subordinate server. that's listed master. assumed windows nis auto populate i'm wondering if compatibility thing or whether have problem.

2nd,
when creating new user account on 2003 server populate "unix attributes" tab in "active directory users , computers" once saved check 2008 server has been updated. instead when check "unix attribute" tab presented message

"no primary group assigned user. specify primary group user before saving user's unix attributes"

once accept message it's clear none of information set on 2003 has transferred uid incorrect. have chosen not set primary group on 2008 server there problem.

problem replicated if create account on 2008 server , check account on 2003 dc.

made sure synchronised changes before checking each dc.

suggestions.
