Hi, I would like to migrate from NT PDC to a Samba PDC.
My main concern is that all my users have local profile (i.e. there is no roaming profiles). It seems that users profiles on a workstation are not valide when migrating to the Samba PDC. It seams that the users cannot keep the same identity. On the other hand, I would really like to change PDC without users noticing anything. Tools like pwdump.exe or pwdum2.exe to build smbpasswd, extracting the domaine SID and putting it in /etc/samba/MACHINE.SID help to this goal. But, it does not seems to be enough ( at least in my setup !): windows passwords migrate ok, workstations migrate apparently ok, but the former profile of users are no more accessible and new ones are create. It seems that it is because the users identity (SID) has changed, even if the users ID in /etc/passwd and /etc/samba/smbpasswd are the ones extract with pwdump.exe from the NT PDC. 1- Is this feature normal 2- Can I do better with actual Samba tools ? 3- If not, how about using information from cygwin tool mkpasswd and mkgroup from wich I can extract lines like myusername::11190:10513:this_is_me,S-1-5-21-90123874-2034640729-581009308-1190:/home/myusername:/bin/sh and Domain Users:S-1-5-21-90123874-2034640729-581009308-513:10513: These contains the SID of the users and group. Is there a way to exploit this informations in Samba? Can it help for a completly transparent migration of NT PDC to Samba PDC ?
