Transferring user profiles to new domain

[Mayers, P J]

If you check the archives (~2 weeks ago), I wrote a utility that will do
this. I'll mail it if you want. Runs under *NT* (there's no way around it).
I take it you want to change the security permissions on them?

Easier would be to find the SID of the domain on the old domain, and fill in
the MACHINE.SID file manually with that.

Cheers,
Phil

Subject: Transferring user profiles to new domain

Hello experts,

I have set up a Samba 2.1 PDC (Domain: NEWDOM). Now I want to transfer
all
the user profiles from our old domain OLDDOM (NT4 PDC, profiles stored
on a
Samba 2.0.4 box) to the new one so that the users won't recognize any
difference. Is there a kind of step-by-step-documentation available? I
just
tried to create a user on the new samba box and copy one his old profile
directories to the new location, but it doesn't work, the old profile is
not
used.

Thanks very much for your help.
Ole
