Clearly that is not the case. > Also, if Samba 4 is level 2003, why does it ship with the 2008 & 2008R2 > schemas and no sign of the 2003 schema? > Because it depends on the version of the wire level protocol that Samba4 supports and has nothing to do with the schema. That is, there is a set of MS-RPC calls that you need to support to be at level 2003R2 and presumably Samba4 does not support them all so it reports itself as a 2003 server. You could probably import a 2008 schema into a 2003 server, but it would not make it a 2008 server. Lets face it you can have an AD domain with a mixture of 2003 and 2003R2 servers in it, and clearly the 2003 servers are not 2003R2. JAB. -- Jonathan A.
