Has anyone done this, and did you run into any
Paul, I'm near the end (I think) of doing something similar. I am going from a Windows PDC to a Samba PDC and LDAP and migrating the data with vampire. I have the process outlined, and I'd be happy to share it with you when my last issue is figured out (posted previously). I can think of no reason why one cannot vampire from a Samba PDC rather than a Windows PDC. Once you have done it with your PDC, it will be the same process for your machine to convert to a BDC. -Michael George Ideal Solution, LLC -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
