Thanks Martin. Ipa migrate-ds worked a treat. I'll get users to login to an ipa client so that it generates the Kerberos hash (like I had to originally)
For reference I did have to specify the correct containers for users and groups... ipa migrate-ds --user-container=cn=users,cn=accounts --group-container=cn=groups,cn=accounts --with-compat ldap://dr-ipa.mydomain.com:389 I still would like a way to dump users out to a file, for backup purposes, such as an ldif file. If anyone has a script to do that I'd appreciate it.

It should work both with stand alone Directory Servers and IPA too. You may just need to play with --userignoreobjectclass amd userignoreattribute to not migrate Kerberos related attributes and objectclasses if for example your other DS has a different realm.
