You will need to unjoin the domain before running the migration process. > The Samba machine will be a member server rather than a domain > controller.

So rsync the directories, the leave the domain, then migrate your users. > Since the machine will not be a domain controller, is there any part of > those instructions that I should not perform or additional instruction > listed elsewhere that I should know about?

I would suggest you migrate to tdbsam. Then, if you want to use LDAP at the backend, migrate tdbsam to LDAP using: pdbedit -i tdbsam -e ldapsam pdbedit -g -i tdbsam -e ldapsam Of course, while migrating tdbsam to ldapsam: passdb backend = tdbsam ldapsam Then remove tdbsam from the above entry after the transfer from tdbsam to LDAP is complete.
