Anybody, Can I please have some ideas on transparently migrating my user profiles (originally from a Win2K PDC) to a Samba 3 PDC (with LDAP) ???. I have already done the following: 1) Make my samba3 server a BDC server and used "net rpc vampire" to acquire the users (though there seems to be a problem with net vampire if your users are in a ldap database). 2) Used the same SID as the former domain. My requirements are: 1) The users are supposed to retain their local profiles, whenever they login (there should be no new profiles created). Please help Sincerely, ATrillanes
