Hi Greg, Yes, its really that simple, however you may end up needing to transfer them one role at a time if you end up getting errors (something I had to do once). Samba-tool needs a bit more documentation (on the wiki that is), however you can see more info by using --help after any command... I may start working on a wiki page for that soon.
