Adam --

Thanks much for your help, this went off almost without a hitch yesterday. I changed WINS in DHCP and exported/imported the SID, and everything came up just fine. I spent a few hours testing and came across a few things that changed between versions (profiles were on by default), but was able to quickly correct that.

Now to get ACLs working properly, one step at a time :).


Thanks again!

Nick

yes you can have the same sid, just use net setlocalsid.

if you know what drive letters they've manually mapped to, you can change those in the login script also. just use the dos net command to disconnect the share and then map it to the new share. since you're using LDAP i'd probably keep the PDC for authentication and move the roaming profiles and such to the BDC.

add this with ldapmodify for your users as an example. nbailey authenticates to the PDC (10.8.2.3) but his profile and home directory are on 10.8.17.2

are you using DHCP? and net login scripts in samba? just change the WINS server in DHCP. move over all of the .tdb files, make sure the new server has the same domain sid. have the netlogon scipts unmount their shares and remount them to the new server.


Yes we are using DHCP, so that would be in the plan for the change over (to switch WINS servers). I assume we are using net login scripts for some things, but I know some users have manually added some shares to their profiles; any way to re point those at the new server?

Do you suggest the new samba instance keeps the old PDC name, or we change it to the new server name? Is it possible to have a different name, but the same SID?

Thanks!
