Hi Craig

I think you miss understood me. I still migrated the ldap entries and 
group entries. But I have the problem with the profiles. I don't want to 
use roaming profiles so If I join a workstation to the new DOMAIN, there 
will be created a new profile and I want to keep them. So I've got the 
idea of shutting down DOMAIN1 and configure the new samba 3 domain to 
DOMAIN1 and the workstations won't recognize if the PDC is the old 
samba2 or the new one. Or are there any profile migration scripts or 
anything else?
