[Samba] The Ultimate Migration

[Kevin Kallsen]

Dear Fellow Samba Users:

 

I have mandrake 9.1 with Samba 2.2.8 running a domain with 500 users.  It
has worked flawlessly for a long time.  However, it is time to set up a new
server.  I have a new server with Mandrake 10 OE and Samba 3.0.2 running.
Please explain to this newbie and very satisfied samba user how to migrate
all my users, groups, sid, domain, etc to the new machine.  My goal is to
rsync the correct folders and then power down the old server and have the
domain clients recognize the new server.

 

Thanks in advance for your detailed reply.

 

Kevin
