samba - Jul 2006 - New Server: need to transfer PDC to new server

I have Samba 3.0.22 running as a PDC on a server.  We recently bought a new
server and I want to transfers the PDC settings to the new server and turn
off the old server.  What do I need to do?

 

Thanks

move /etc/samba/* and all the .tdb files in /var/lib/samba and/or 
/var/cache/samba

Kevin,

You need to provide the list with more information, what backend database 
are you using - have you read the documentation available on the samba site?

In any case you need to set the sid to be the same on the bdc as the pdc; 
net getlocalsid, then net setlocalsid sidnumberhere.

If you are using ldap database, slapcat -v -l database.txt, go to your new 
server and add the database.txt with slapadd -v -l database.txt.
