    Greetings all,

    First off, let me appologise for the almost f.a.q-like question, but other avenues(google, et-al) have been exhausted.

    We’ve just acquired a new Windows Server 2003 Standard server for our smallish workshop, which comprises of roughly 40%Mac/40%Windows/20%SlackwareLinux.

    We already have a Mac OS X Server handling logons, DNS, and an OD domain. WINS is enabled, and used primarily to make it easy to locate machines on the windows based machines. It also works well since its not so hard to get the slckware boxes to just "show up."

    The new Windows Server will primarily be providing NAS — but, now that we have this new fancy toy — i’d like to have it "backup"(read:pull) from the WINS server on the Mac OSX Server. So far my attempts to achieve this have failed — the server simply states that the request is in the que(which I am certain is a filthy lie.) The log on the Mac OSX Server dosn’t appear to be a whole lot of help either. Can anyone provide any information as to what could be causing this? Are my assumptions that this is/should be possible far to glib?

    While on the subject; I understand that OD and AD are two seperate beasts, and as such, it isn’t possible to have an AD replicate an OD — is this the case?

    Many thanks for your time,
    Gen’
