I have attempted to follow the directions here: http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/upgrades.html#id363635 in the "Replacing a Domain Controller" section. However I ran into a problem where the Kickoff time was set to the epoch on the new server and no one on this list has been able/willing to help. So you can try this method to make a backup of your PDC, but it may or may not work. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
