Hi,

I realized the following test:

I create a domain in S4 the same SID and NETBIOS NAME as the S3. Then I created 
some users in the S4 domain and changed to have the same SID of S3. With this, 
simply remove the machine from the domain S3 and S4 in the field include again 
(did this through a script) and the user logged and kept his profile on the 
windows. I released the script as the domain logonscript of S3. So all that 
connected to S3 domain  was moved to S4 automatically.

This would be an acceptable way? What problems might happen?

Ps.: It's easy to make a script that takes data from S3 to the S4 (I use 
OpenLDAP with S3).

The S4 is getting very good!

Thanks for all.

Slightly off topic, but is Samba4 planning to support openLDAP as a backend, 
potentially, able to convert a live running samba3 PDC with OpenLDAP to samba4 
with no change (for the negative) to users or machines etc? I am just finishing 
deploying samba3 as a PDC with OpenLDAP, but the organisation I am doing this 
for wants to keep OpenLDAP in long term use, with hopefully no disruptions to 
the Users. The ability to upgrade to samba4 on top of this would be exactly 
something that we have in mind (hopefully!)

Thank you four all your continued work, it is greatly appreciated and keeps me 
running one less heater.... i mean windows server.
