First stop samba service, so that no further user passowrd changes or machine password changes takes place 2. Take an LDIF output by using ldap search example : #ldapsearch -LLL -x -b "dc=example,dc=com" -D "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com" -W >>> /tmp/mybackup.ldif 3. Once the LDAP information is exported to Sun Directory server, change the ldap server ip address in smb.conf Now there is one more part the secrets.tdb file has the password of "DN" through which it binds to LDAP server, I would suggest to keep the same password for the Sun Directory server also. because having a different password means running "smbpasswd " command to update it and this may cause to change the "SID" , though . so be careful here. Let me know if the above helped and if any body else can comment on above steps , or is there anything else i am missing.

The output is LDIF, so *theoretically* you can load it into any DSA that supports the same schema. > 1.
