Hi, I have an old system running Samba 3 with default passwd backend for about 30 users. Not I set up a new Samba 3.0.14a with mysql backend on another machine. I'd like to migrate the users from old system to the new system! I read through the official Samba HOWTOS and googled, but no useful concept of migration found.
At the weekend I tested the following concept: - Configure the new server as BDC for the old server => Join the domain: "net rpc join -S OLD_SERVER -w DOMNAME -U Administrator%passwd" => Get the local SID with: "net rcp getsid" => Sync the old /var/lib/samba with the new /var/lib/samba => Sync the shared data and profiles => Sync /etc/passwd /etc/samba/smbpasswd /etc/group (Note: I decided to set up a default passwd backend, and if this is running, I change to mysql backend) After I changed the smb.conf I restarted the servers and I become the message from BDC: "become domain logon server for DOMAIN". The testparm script tells me, that the smb.conf is set up correctly and it returns: Server role: ROLE_DOMAIN_BDC. A quick test was successful, I can login / logout from a domain user account on a windows xp station. Now I want to deactivate the old server and login with only the new server, so I shutdown the old server. A further login is working, BUT: I can login / logout without problems, so the authentification with BDC only is working! But I get the windows error message, that the group and user policies are wrong and therefore windows creates a new local profile. So my questions: - Have someone an idea to fix this problem? - Make my concept sense or does someone has a better concept? I hope you can help me with my problem.
