I would like some advice on a migration strategy. Soon I will be migrating from a old samba 2.2 server PDC server to a new samba 3 server (on new hardware). I also wish to take this opportunity to rename the server which I understand will change the SID. What is the recommended method to achieve this without having to touch any of the workstations? Can I copy the old smbpasswd file to the new server and just manually recreate all the workstation trust accounts on the new server? Do I need to touch the user accounts? -- The contents of this email may be privileged and confidential, any unauthorised use of the contents is expressly prohibited.
