samba - Feb 2013 - removing local policies

Hello Everyone

We are upgrading to Samba4 from Samba 3.x, we got a fully functional domain over
the last 4 years and we are trying to do our migration as smooth as possible.

I have migrated, users, machines and everything to the new samba4 domain (not in
production yet), however when i log and old machine from the samba 3.x domain to
the samba 4 domains, the local policy still applies, i suppose is because the
old policies uses ntconfig.pol that burns the change on the registry.

I'd like to remove that policies without having to reinstall or recreate
users, has anyone managed to do that?

Thanks in advanced.

I think you are using 'System Policy' feature on Samba 3 domain. The
settings applied by 'System Policy' are tatooed. It's by design.

To search "system policy tatoo" will show you additional information.
