samba - Jan 2008 - Migrate Windows 2000 (Active Directory Integrated) Domain to Samba

I read everywhere about migrating an NT4 domain, but nowhere says you 
can do the same with a Windows 2000 (NOT mixed mode) domain...

This client does NOT currently use AD for anything special (GPO, etc).

Is this possible? Advised?

Samba 3.x cannot migrate data from Windows 200x.  This is one of the
proposed features of Samba 4.x which is currently in development.

The clients will need to be rejoined (otherwise they will not use system
policies, as they expect group policies), but yes, it is otherwise
possible.

The main thing you want is the SIDs to remain consistent, and the
passwords.  If these don't matter to you, then perhaps rebuilding is
easier.
