[Samba] Migration From 3.0.22 to 3.0.28a on New Hardware

[Nick Webb]

Adam --

Thanks much for your help, this went off almost without a hitch 
yesterday.  I changed WINS in DHCP and exported/imported the SID, and 
everything came up just fine.  I spent a few hours testing and came 
across a few things that changed between versions (profiles were on by 
default), but was able to quickly correct that.

Now to get ACLs working properly, one step at a time :).


Thanks again!

Nick
