I am struggling with this move at the moment Jeisma, but only with 10 clients!

1. - The main gotcha I am having is to make the clients think it is the same PDC and thus not make a new profile.

2. - PLAN and TEST -

3. - No.  But, with 300 clients you will wish that you did!

4. - It is a directory for storing usernames and passwords that you can use for logging on

5. - No

6. - No

7. - Replicate your NT4 and setup a test network in the Laboratory. Have the NT4, Samba and a couple of clients and do a complete trial move making notes.

This is a tough one because you need to switch and it's VERY difficult to move back once you have gone.

Good luck...
