Yes, this would be possible; 1. Vampire your accounts on to a new Samba DC 2. Disconnect it from network 3. Denote your NT Dc's 4. Rejoin them to the Samba Domain NOTE: As the other person said, while possible, this would be a bitch of a job. You said you need to maintain your NT server anyway, why not just put the files and printers and what not on samba and leave the user accounts to

Hello, I'm working on migrating an NT4 PDC to a Samba 3 PDC. The tricky part, is that the NT4 server is also running Exchange 5.5 which needs to remain running. So unlike a migrate and toss the NT4 system, I need to migrate, then demote the NT4 PDC to an NT4 Server, then (probably) rejoin the domain as Exchange Server will not run on a non-domain member system. Basically looking for any

I'm trying to decommission our PDC which is running on some older hardware and migrate it's functionality to one of our two currently operating BDCs for the domain. The three servers have nearly identical configurations with only differences in file and printer shares and a couple attributes like "wins support" and "domain master". They all have identical netlogon

I've got two sites that I am planning a Samba3/LDAP implementation on, each will have its own local server. The problem is that I want to implement in my local office first, which is not the site that eventually will be the 'master' site. Sometime later when the proper master site comes online, I'd like to demote for lack of a better term, my local machine to a BDC and then

I'm helping out a small office upgrade their NT 4 PDC to Samba. It's a small office of 6 people, so tdbsam is being used. They keep having tape backup issues and other problems, so one of the reasons for the Samba migration is to allow me to SSH into their box and remotely administer it from home on evenings/weekends. Currently I'm testing the move using two dummy machines, and

Hello, I had tried to demote a samba DC and re-join it as a member over the weekend, but something went horribly wrong. Starting point was a samba DC which also acted as a file server. It was the single DC in that domain. I first set up a Windows 2008 R2 machine and promoted it to DC within the same domain. I then changed DNS entries on all machines to point to the new DC, transferred the FSMO

Hi, Our domain is setup with one Primary Domain Controller and two Backup Domain Controllers, and a member server. All domain controllers (PDC and BDCs) are running Gentoo Linux with Samba and LDAP. The member server (fileserver) is a SUNS machine running Solaris. We do everything (add, edit, modify groups and accounts) on the PDC and it will then sync all the changes to the BDC by way of

Hi all, We currently have a Fedora 11 machine (about to be upgraded to Fedora 15 though) running Samba 3.4.7 as our PDC and multiple BDC "home servers" running various versions of samba and OS. What I am needing is a fail proof way to migrate the PDC function off the current machine and onto another new fresh install. Currently our PDC is also the home server for one of our
