[Samba] Samba 3 PDC to WS2012 AD Migration

Thu Sep 18 05:24:52 MDT 2014

Hi,
I have quite a difficult task to solve.

I need to migrate from Samba 3 to WS2012 AD. I know the steps are Samba 3 to Samba 4 to WS2008 to WS2012R2.

I managed to upgrade Samba 3 PDC to Samba 4 AD, but I am not able to move roles to WS 2008 as I have some DNS related problems.

Is there any howto regarding Samba 4, DNS and Active Directory? Better I would appreciate some lines describing the whole process of migration or someone who has already done this.

Thank you very much.
