There is one option you can try. I have read of it but never tried it. The directory structure of Active Directory is based on LDAP technology. Microsoft has a document entitled "Active Directory LDAP Compliance" which explains this. Active Directory contains a tool called LDIFDE which can be used to export AD objects to a ldif file. Go to http://support.microsoft.com/ and do a search for "ldif" to find some documentation. The LDAP naming conventiions for AD are different from OpenLDAP so I suspect you will have to edit the file. I guess you would need to use the dos2linux command to change the file to a format Linux could use. You would then need to find and replace things like the object's SID. Let me know how it works out. Just one of those things I have never gotten around to testing. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
