Integrate Samba4 server to microsoft active-directory

Question

I have a windows server 2003 in production running as a domain controller, I have accounts, groups etc. all right and working there.

I receive notice from microsoft that the server 2003 will no longer be supported by microsoft as everyone should already know

So I started testing the Samba4 with support for DC (Domain controller) and ran very well, can be managed by RSAT ( Remote Server Administration Tools ), I just don’t know how to do this part of migrating accounts, groups etc. from DC microsoft for this feat in Samba4, I also heard say something like promote a and/ or replicate, that part is that I do not know how to do, in fact I do not even know if it is possible to do inside that environment I have "Samba4 <-> microsoft"

Answer 1

Ola, This procedure is very simple. 1 - Join Samba 4 as DC of Win2003; 2 - Transfer the ROLES and FSMO from Win2003 to Samba 4, so that this is the primary DC of the network; 3 - If you wish, remove DC Windows 2003.
