    22        Ever since Microsoft announced that it was discontinuing support for Windows
    33        NT4, Samba users started to ask for detailed instructions on how to migrate
     
    77        One wonders how many NT4 systems will be left in service by the time you read this
    88        book though.

    1010        Network administrators who want to migrate off a Windows NT4 environment know
    1111        one thing with certainty. They feel that NT4 has been abandoned, and they want
     
    1414        failure, and much more.

    2020        The migration from NT4 to Samba-3 can involve a number of factors, including
    2121        migration of data to another server, migration of network environment controls
     
    2323        accounts.

    2626        It should be pointed out now that it is possible to migrate some systems from
    2727        a Windows NT4 domain environment to a Samba-3 domain environment. This is certainly
     
    3131        migration before an environment that is acceptable for immediate use

    7676        MS Windows NT4 was introduced some time around 1996. Many environments in which NT4 was deployed
    7777        have done little to keep the NT4 server environment up to date with more recent Windows releases,
     
    8484        real disruption to users, but rather, with due diligence and care, should make their network experience

    8989        Migration of an NT4 domain user and group database to Samba-3 involves a certain strategic
    9090        element. Many sites have asked for instructions regarding merging of multiple NT4
    9191        domains into one Samba-3 LDAP database. It seems that this is viewed as a significant
    9292        added value compared with the alternative of migration to Windows Server 200x and Active
    93         Directory. The diagram in <a href="ntmigration.html#ch8-migration" title="Figure 9.1. Schematic Explaining the net rpc vampire Process">???</a> illustrates the effect of migration

    9898        If you want to merge multiple NT4 domain account databases into one Samba domain,
    9999        you must now dump the contents of the first migration and edit it as appropriate. Now clean
     
    101101        files. You must start each migration with a new database into which you merge your NT4
    102102        domains.

    104104        At this point, you are ready to perform the second migration, following the same steps as
    105105        for the first. In other words, dump the database, edit it, and then you may merge the
    106106        dump for the first and second migrations.

    108108        You must be careful. If you choose to migrate to an LDAP backend, your dump file
    109109        now contains the full account information, including the domain SID. The domain SID for each

    145145        From feedback on the Samba mailing lists, it seems that most Windows NT4 migrations
    146146        to Samba-3 are being performed using a new server or a new installation of a Linux or UNIX
    147147        server. If you contemplate doing this, please note that the steps that follow in this

    189189        for daily management, but these are not critical to migration. The critical scripts are dependant
