moving over to linux domain

[spivy66]

Ok, guys i know theres a lot to this, i did most of it, Iam at the point where I made my linx box part of my main nt domain I also set it up as a BDC. My question is how to I get all the users and groups from the nt PDC to my linux box. I know itf i use net vampire it will suck it all out but i just want to copy the crudencials over not a move . Does any one know how to do this.and yes i am using samba on the linux box..MY plan is to make the BDC a PDC, onnce i get all the users over to the new samba linux box i can then get rid of NT for good..any help would be great. thanks to all

Samba.org have a very good "how to by example", take a look to this:

I hope this helps you.

Ok, i read the link you sent me and i understand all of it,but my question is when i use the vampire command will it COPY all of mine users and groups over or MOVE them. I still want all users and gropus on the nt box untill i know everthi9ng works?

as far as i know, it copy the users and group, not move, but you can get a backup before the vampire command.

I found the following blog, quite useful for you (I guess):
