[Samba] Migrate from one server (samba3) to a new one (samba4)

[André Guilhon]

Hey Marc. Even if I use LDAP for users? I've already copied the smb.conf
and the tdbs to the new server, but I could not get it to connect to the
old server to require the users in LDAP database!
If I copy the /etc/groups it will work?
