I am a bit surprised by this question since it would seem that someone
that has already set up LDAP on both samba 2.2x & 3 has a pretty good
working knowledge of the differences in schema/attributes of the two and
could probably slapcat their LDAP from the 2.2x version (machine
accounts) - find & replace fix the changes and import them into the LDAP
store for 3.0.x

Obviously the DOMAIN NAME, localSID, GID's etc will differ and those
must also be fixed.

There is a section about conversion from 2.2x to 3.0.x in the how-to
