I would suggest turning it into a domain member and then use this as a fileserver, see here for more info: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setup_Samba_as_an_AD_Domain_Member https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Shares_with_Windows_ACLs I would also, if possible, take the opportunity to upgrade the OS and Samba.

I get it! :D The old Samba NT4 is in a freebsd. I would like to migrate to a new distro. I will use debian8. I have to copy the files and permissions from groups and users for this new. I've been searching and with rsync maybe I could do this. http://amar-linux.blogspot.com.br/2012/03/migrating- samba-server-and-users-in.html?m=1 Have you done something like that?
