Hi all, I need some help with the following problem:
I need to migrate a bunch of user accounts to another domain on a Windows 2003 server (eventually to 2008R2, but that step seemed to big to do in one go). To keep all access rights etc. correct, I need to get the SID history set correctly as well. >From what I've researched so far, I'm aware of http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2005-April/103743.html and http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2005-June/107028.html which basically state that this migration should be possible using ADMT. As far as I know, I have all prerequisites in places as listed in those postings, however, I still cannot get ADMT to run. It does find the Samba server and recognises it as domain controller for OLDDOMAIN, but when I ask it to migrate SID history as well, I get a rather cryptic error "Could not verify auditing and TcpipClientSupport on domains. Will not be able to migrate Sid's. The system cannot find the file specified." Unfortunately, Aunt Google does not have much on that one... Neither tshark nor Process Monitor nor the Samba logs provided any additional clues (that I would recognise), so this was a dead end for the time being. After having checked and re-checked domain trusts, administrator accounts (with equal passwords), SID filters being off, ... on both machines, I then tried a different approach: The "sidhist.vbs" script from the 2003 support tools, which in theory should be able to accomplish the same. However, when I try to run this script, I also get an error: "Error 0x800706BA, Unable to read the configuration information of the computer "SAMBA_DC". The error was: The RPC server is unavailable." I've done a lot of searching on this one as well, I even went as far as running tshark on the connection to see whether that would yield any clues - but came up empty yet again. Unfortunately, I'm now at the end of my - limited - knowledge of both Samba and Windows and would therefore like to ask whether anyone on this list may be able to hit me with the appropriate clue stick and/or point me in the direction of the proper TFM. Any tips for solving or even just debugging this are most welcome.
