After a frightening experience with W2K Active Directory, we've been considering an "emergency migration" to Samba. I've been looking at both 2.2.7 and the latest 3.0 alpha, but have found little information about migrating from W2K. Most information seems to be about Windows NT PDC.
What I've tried is to pull the information from the AD tree with pwdump3 and put it in the smbpasswd file, with some small conversions. I've taken the domain SID and put it in DOMAIN.SID and created all the corresponding UNIX accounts for the computers. Unfortunately, the clients are still experiencing problems when logging into the moved domain. Even a level 10 log doesn't tell me anything specific about what's going on; it keeps repeating that the user authenticated correctly. But on the W2K client, the users only get the information that their password/username was incorrect. With 3.0 alpha, I also struggled a bit first with getting the group bits right to map Domain Users to the users unix group, but I think I got that one down. Does anyone have any information to share? I'm beginning to think that this kind of migration is not possible, and that we should burn for allowing the migration from Windows NT to Windows 2000 in the first place :-) -- Jonas �berg Systems administrator/webmaster, Department of Informatics, School of Economics and Commercial Law, Gothenburg University.
