[Samba] Samba + LDAP cannot get account from NT4

[Stephen Vermeulen]

I recently worked through a migration of an NT4 PDC to a Samba PDC using
the vampire command,
while doing this I ran into some problems, possibly including your proble=
m.

There are at least two steps to this procedure that are not included in
most of the documentation
on how to do this that I found on the net. These are:

1. you need to use the NT4 server's "Server Manager" tool to create a
backup domain
controller account for the Samba box before you issue the "net join" comm=
and

2. you need to manually change the SID of the Samba box to be the same as=

the SID of the NT4 PDC that it will be replacing

You might also have forgotten to use "smbpasswd" to set the root account
password
into Samba.

I have written up a step-by-step procedure for doing the migration based
on my
experiences. I did repeat this procedure a few times from clean Linux
installs to
verify that it was repeatable.

Take a look at:
