This weekend we said goodbye to out Linux domain controller using Samba and OpenLDAP.  We now have two servers running Windows Server 2003 with Active Directory controlling our network.  The migration went pretty well except for a failed hard drive in a RAID array, but I had a spare and the backups were working properly, and well, it was in a RAID array so there was no data loss.  Just some minor inconvenience.

Other than that it was just a matter of time to get everything done.  We have four volunteers there to help.  That is if you count Adam as a volunteer.  He’s there often enough I consider him staff, and he does work at the Church, just not in IT.  But he doesn’t get paid to do IT, so technically he’s still a volunteer.  He also stayed later than I did both nights we worked and finished up some things. So I should say:
ADAM, YOU THE MAN!!!

Anyway, in other news, Sam is moving this week.  He’s a friend we play Shadowrun with, but he got laid off from his programming job a couple of weeks ago, and ended up finding a new, better job in Maryland.  So that’s sad.
