Hi All,

I'm looking for some guidance.

My client currently has an NT4 domain. It controls domain logons for all users, although all data is stored on another windows 2000 member server in the domain. The logon script that runs on the nt4 domain server maps drives to the other windows server.

Its time to upgrade the NT4 system and replace with Linux/Samba.

initially my plan was to create a new domain, make samba the master browser of that domain and migrate users into that new domain. In order to do this i would do a "files and settings transfer wizard", change each pc to logon to the new domain, then do a "files and settings transfer wizard" restore, once logged on to the new domain.

Ofcourse thats going to take some time, and it means a visit to each pc.

Has anyone done this sort of a migration before?

Is there any quick and easy steps to migrate users and profiles across?

can i keep the same domain and have samba take over all the user profiles, domain logons etc etc?

Would it be easier to just promote the windows 2000 server and make it the domain logon server?

TIA,

Les
