Congratulations ! What a nice post :-). I always explain to people I meet that Samba is the worst piece of software in the world because no one ever comes up to me and tells me it just works - they always say : "but I have this one problem....". Nice to hear about a success :-). Cheers, Jeremy.

I used a little utility called pwdump2.exe Get it here: http://razor.bindview.com/tools/desc/pwdump2_readme.html Run this as administrator on your PDC and you will get a text file with all "the goods" on your user & machine accounts. Let me know if you have any questions. -- Scott

Not required in my environment. This *can* all be set up in LDAP though if that's your question. -- Scott

(I always thought that a (NT4-)PDC can't be demoted to anything less than a BDC without re-installing the whole thing. This combined with Samba 2.2 not being able to handle BDCs would render it impossible to keep the old domain/NetBios names... but it galdly seems I was wrong!?) Many thanks in advance!!

I used the rpcclient utility to get the SID for the domain. Like this: [root@localhost]# rpcclient <YOUR_PDC> -U administrator Enter Password: session setup ok Domain=[YOURDOMAIN] OS=[Windows NT 4.0] Server=[NT LAN Manager 4.0] rpcclient $> lsaquery domain YOURDOMAIN has sid S-1-5-21-1363377815-237862100-1307212239 rpcclient $> quit You then use smbpasswd -W to force your Samba server to use this SID Keeping the NetBIOS name is not an issue, just copy all your shares from the old PDC over to Samba and you dumb windoze clients won't even know the difference! -- Scott
I am so stoked I just had to share this with y'all. I just "SEAMLESSLY" migrated all of my machines and users over to my new Gentoo Linux Server. I even kept the same: domain name and old PDC NetBios name. The trickiest part was getting all of the users to keep their same profile, but I managed that by cloning the RID and Lanman/NT hashes for the user accounts. Free at last! # include <much_backpatting.h> -- Scott
well, I would say it's a kernel issue. There is a patch for it. But the site is not reachable.
