[Samba] Migrating samba file server OS, group id different on the source and the target server.

thank you once again Rowland

just a some clarification:

1) I have one Domain Controller based on Samba4 in AD mode, how can I
verify that I am using IDMU on it?
2) YES - the samba3 file share is a standalone server, using tdbsam and
local users.
3)

"the second is from an AD client but you are
using a depreciated uid/gid mechanism and have commented this out:

          #idmap config * : backend = tdb
          #idmap config * : range = 2000-9999
          #idmap config CCDC : backend = ad
          #idmap config CCDC : range = 10000-20000
"

I did comment those out just for testing, but if I put them back, nothing
changes and the gid and uid are still different from the standalone server

4) to be honest all I need is that all the domain guid/uid on the new file
server match exactly the domain guid/uid that are present in the old file
server, whatever mechanism I have to use.

For example , the AD group domainusers is defined as following into the
Domain controller

Samba4 AD DC:

dn: CN=DomainUsers,CN=Users,DC=ccdc,DC=lan
cn: DomainUsers
description: Domain Users
instanceType: 4
whenCreated: 20150713152248.0Z
uSNCreated: 3780
name: DomainUsers
objectGUID:: wzVim3m0yUiKEj7cF10BYA==
objectSid:: AQUAAAAAAAUVAAAANxKzmMQKGuPHWLf69wIAAA==
sAMAccountName: DomainUsers
sAMAccountType: 268435456
groupType: -2147483646
objectCategory: CN=Group,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=ccdc,DC=lan
gidNumber: 759
objectClass: top

memberOf: CN=Domain Users,CN=Users,DC=ccdc,DC=lan
memberOf: CN=DomainUsers,CN=Users,DC=ccdc,DC=lan
member: CN=ieu94629,CN=Users,DC=ccdc,DC=lan
member: CN=ieu94768,CN=Users,DC=ccdc,DC=lan
member: CN=ieu94243,CN=Users,DC=ccdc,DC=lan
member: CN=ieu68184,CN=Users,DC=ccdc,DC=lan
member: CN=ieu68199,CN=Users,DC=ccdc,DC=lan
member: CN=ieu68243,CN=Users,DC=ccdc,DC=lan
member: CN=ieu68284,CN=Users,DC=ccdc,DC=lan
member: CN=ieu68298,CN=Users,DC=ccdc,DC=lan


that's what I see on the 2 file share servers:

Samba 3.5.6
getent group | grep domainusers | cut -f 1 -d ","
domainusers:x:10003:mooreof

Samba 4.1.6
getent group | grep domainusers | cut -f 1 -d ","
domainusers:x:10122:mooreof

what I need is this:

Samba 4.1.2 - domainusers had GID 10003


any idea?

thanks

OK, the first smb.conf looks like it is from a standalone server, using
tdbsam and local users, the second is from an AD client but you are
using a depreciated uid/gid mechanism and have commented this out:

          #idmap config * : backend = tdb
          #idmap config * : range = 2000-9999
          #idmap config CCDC : backend = ad
          #idmap config CCDC : range = 10000-20000

Now if you want to use AD (do you have an AD DC ? ) then what you have
commented out is actually what you need.

You will need to be using samba4 or a windows DC with  IDMU, if you use
samba4, you may be able to use the 'classicupgrade' method. If not, you
will need to extract your users & groups along with their uid/gid
numbers and add these to the user/group objects in AD.
