Thanks for the advice. I had played with NT4 a little bit to see if I could use it for setting up a resource domain for windows 2003 machines- since it looks like you can join Windows 2003 machines to an NT4 domain (so why PCNL can't I don't know), and then establish trusts between NT4 and PCNL. I didn't really want to have NT4 machines in my enviroment any longer than necessary so I abandoned this approach. But it sounds like a good tool for PCNL-to-Samba. Maybe I could do I vampire dump straight from PCNL?
I may be better off to get the PCNL-to-SAMBA migration out of the way before trying to bring the Windows 2003 machines into general service than vice versa. -----Original Message----- From: samba-bounces on Behalf Of Volker Lendecke Sent: Monday, May 21, 2007 4:32 PM To: Gaiseric Vandal Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Samba] RPC Error with PC Netlink On Mon, May 21, 2007 at 01:30:21PM -0400, Gaiseric Vandal wrote: > Sun has definately dropped PC Netlink in favor of Samba (ironically > after pushing PC Netlink's superiority.)

The smoothest way to migrate the domain off PC Netlink is to install a NT4 (!) BDC to suck down the user db, then cut the network between PC Netlink and the BDC, then promote the BDC to a PDC from which you can vampire the SAM. A colleague of mine has successfully done this for a 13.000 user domain. Volker
