We have a new v6r1 box, model M15. In the infocenter documentation, there's
info how to setup and configure the iSeries to provide Domain Logon support
(
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/v5r2/ic2924/index.htm?info/rzahl/rzah
ldmnlogonspt.htm). As I understand it, this would essentially allow me to
remove the Win2K server (running on an IXS on an old 400) out of our
network. The Win2K server on the iXS is the primary domain controller, and
that's really all it's used for (no DHCP, no DNS, etc).
Apparently, in order for the user PCs (all XP at this time) to be able to
login to the domain I'll need to install/configure client software on each
PC; ok, no biggie, I can do that.
Brings up some questions:
- What if the user can't authenticate to the iSeries domain
controller? Will they be 'locked out' of the PC until they do network
authentication, or will they be logged in using a stored copy of their
Windows user profile, or will something else happen?
- What if we upgrade client systems from XP to Vista or Windows 7?
