[Samba] Switching to 64 bit version in existing DC server.
Are samba data files compatible between 32 bit and 64 bit versions? So that I could safely uninstall 32 bit version (leaving existing data and configuration) and reinstall as 64 bit version? -- Virgo P?rna virgo.parna at mail.ee

All you need to do is backup the data and the smb.conf on a Unix domain member, install the new 64bit OS, install the Samba packages, replace the smb.conf with your backed up copy, restore the data and away you go.
