Hello, I have simple question. Has anyone succeeded to migrate NT4 domain with windows XP accounts to SAMBA3+LDAP domain? Our organization is very interested in doing this. We performed a test migration, users' accounts migrated without problems, but windows xp workstations can't login. I tried to find more information on this topic. What I found made me to think that such clean migration (when there are windows xp domain members) is not possible, after migration all windows xp members will have to be rejoined manually. Is it true? I'll be very grateful if anybody could help me with this. Thanks, -- Saulius

[Samba] Successful migration NT4->SAMBA3 domain, anyone?

Is it true?I migrate an NT4 domain a few week ago without problems. But it was a small domain and the passdb backend was tdb, not ldap. However, following the samba howto, I found one step missing in chapter 36, procedure 36.1: maybe your domain SID doesn't match the NT4's one. Before "net rpc vampire", try to fetch the domain SID with "net rpc getsid", and then vampire users. Just my 2 cents... :-) DaC

It works quite well. Follow the instructions in Samba by Example. Take it step by step. There were somewhere between 20 and 30 XP pro machines.
