Hm, I think the old way having a machine join the domain was at first a entry even in the passwd file called ex.: notetosh$:x:620:100:Workstation Account NT:/dev/null:/bin/false So there need to be a shadow account: notetosh$:!:13909:1:99999:14::: This entry are all kept like users. If you make a pdbedit -L -w this entries are shown as users. So this entries should be exported as well. But after all Samba/openldap is the better choice. You only have to export your ldap database and import it to the next Samba/openldap and almost ready to run.

Or are they using some sore of idmap allocation?
