&author.jht; April 3, 2003 This is a rough guide to assist those wishing to migrate from NT4 domain control to Samba-3 based domain control. You must use at least the following ... Blah blah objectives here. This is not a definitive ste-by-step process yet - just a place holder so the info is not lost. 1. You will have an NT4 PDC that has the users, groups, policies and profiles to be migrated 2. Samba-3 set up as a DC with netlogon share, profile share, etc. 3. Process: a. Create a BDC account for the samba server using NT Server Manager - Samba must NOT be running b. rpcclient NT4PDC -U Administrator%passwd lsaquery Note the SID returned by step b. c. net getsid -S NT4PDC -w DOMNAME -U Administrator%passwd Note the SID in step c. d. net getlocalsid Note the SID, now check that all three SIDS reported are the same! e. net rpc join -S NT4PDC -w DOMNAME -U Administrator%passwd f. net rpc vampire -S NT4PDC -U administrator%passwd g. pdbedit -l Note - did the users migrate? h. initGrps.sh DOMNAME i. smbgroupedit -v Now check that all groups are recognised j. net rpc campire -S NT4PDC -U administrator%passwd k. pdbedit -lv Note - check that all group membership has been migrated. Now it is time to migrate all the profiles, then migrate all policy files. Moe later. Lots of blah blah here.
