Hi, i did the change according to your guideline, but id don't know how i can preserve the sids and gids of the users. I am working with exact the same uids and gids as on the old server, i have changed the sid of the server (is it a problem the "net getlocalsid" shows another sid as "net getlocalsid domainname" ?), but the user sids differ from the user sids from the old server. Is it a solution to change all sids in each ntuser.dat to the new value? Is it possible that the mistake is that i have to give the new server a different hostname (routing and testing reason), or why isn't it enough to change its sid with "net setlocalsid oldSID? thank you very much, Christoph

I hope you followed the guidance documented in chapter 8 of my book "Samba-3 by Example, second edition". This book is available from Amazon.Com in printed form, or if you want PDF you can obtain it from: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba3-ByExample.pdf > But how can reuse the profiles from the old machine > at the new one? > If i make a simple remote copy, the settings of the > users are lost, i miss my german keyboard layout and > so on.

You must preserve the uids and gids - see chapter 8 referred to above. > I tried to do it with " pdbedit -u username -G oldSID" > (i retrieved the old SID from the logs, but i don't > know how to generally get it), but it obviously isn't > changed, because "pdbedit -Lv username" still shows > the old SID. - John T. ___________________________________________________________ Gesendet von Yahoo!
