replacing a samba pdc server.



Hmm, my new server is installed as BDC!,

but using RPC VAMPIRE against a samba PDC or Domain, ain't working...

guess it's going to be import/export then,  that's all there is left....

Cheers, Collen

Export users, aliases and groups from remote server to local server.
Can only be run an a BDC.



Only if you are a BDC. :)


Here is my question....
I have to migrate a server as well.
The current server uses smbpasswd and the new server planned I want to use ldapsam.


Can I ....
Add the new server as a BDC and 'vampire' the current PDC and then 'promote' the new server and shut the other one off?


Would be cool if I could. I am exploring methods of 'how' to change the server, but also how to keep things intact.
