[Samba] migrating from Samba to Windows

[Jon Johnson]

Yup. Been there, done that. Easy is relative. Is it easier than tying 
your shoes? No. Is it easier than having a root canal done? Possibly. 
Please review the following posts:

The above posts refer to using the Active Directory Migration Tool, 
which attempts to migrate user profiles from the old domain to the new 
one. In some instances, this fails, in which case you need to do it 
manually. The following posts outline that process.

Note also that newer versions of ADMT can be downloaded from Microsoft 
in addition to the version on the Windows 2003 Server CD.
