I need to migrate my current LDAP/SMB PDC to a new server. I found the information on how to replace an existing server with a new system with the same name, but in my case, I still need the existing system to continue as a slave LDAP/SMB BDC. I used slapcat to get the ldap database, and then used this ldif to create the new ldap database on the new server. Linux logins work fine. I used 'net getlocalsid/net setlocalsid' to get and set the Domain SID. I copied over the profiles and NETLOGON directories, preserving permissions. I also manually set the WINS information on the windows clients to point to the new server. However, when I then stop smb on the old server, change the smb.conf file so that the machine is no longer a PDC, and start the new server as a PDC, and refresh the cache for Netbios on the windows clients, all windows logins fail. I don't know what I am forgetting.
Does anyone have a step-by-step for bringing a new LDAP/SMB PDC online while keeping the old server online as a slave LDAP/SMB BDC?
