Hi guys, Here's what I'm doing: Upgrading fro Samba 2.2.8a to Samba 3.0.2a Simultaneously migrating to a new server.
My checklist: << (*)=done , (-) = remaining >> * Download and install Samba 3.0.2a on the new server * Clone (by hand) hostname, sldapd, nssswitch * Hand edit new smb.conf to match the old config. * Export ldif file from old LDAP db * Dump old Domain SID using smbpassword -X * Convert ldif using "ConvertSambaAccount --sid " * Start new LDAP server and import new ldif file. - Stop old server and copy all home directories to new server. - Start new Samba Server and test.. I am hoping that cloning the SID and keeping the same server name that my 65 Windows clients will not know the difference and everything will be transparent. I definitely want to avoid new profile creation, you know? Can anyone confirm that I have not forgotten anything?
