I have been reading through the Samba documentation and haven't
found anything regarding moving a Samba PDC from one server to another
server and also upgrade the Samba version. Am I looking at a lengthy
removing and rejoining of all PCs from the "old" domain to the "new"
domain and copying over the application data from their roaming
profiles off the old server to the new server?
It seems like there should be an "easy" way to handle this.
Thanks for any pointers to documentation covering this.

I am interested in the same. I am moving from 3.0.22 to 3.0.23b and my
first attempt was a total disaster. I simply added the "domain master =
yes" to the new PDC and set it to no on the old PDC, keeping the same
domain name. Things didn't work as expected. Login scripts didn't
run. And I had some issues with Netbios aliases, but I may do something
different with that anyway.
Is there something that needs migrated, like a .tdb file, that needs
moved from the old PDC to the new one? I'm using LDAP as the backend so
I would imagine all the info the domain needs would be in there.
I also had another issue that may not have been related, but I'll ask.
It seems like every time I used the new PDC (3.0.23b) and tried to log
on to a Windows 2003 server as administrator, I would get an
"lssass.dll" error and the server would reboot on it's own. I have not
seen that happen on the old PDC using 3.0.22.
Thanks!
