Migrate Windows DC to Nethserver DC

Hi

I want to say if is possible to migrate Windows Server 2012 DC to Nethserver, without join the new domain on the client and migrate user profile data.

Thanks

If you have a new domain name, you have to migrate the profile. If you use windows clients, there is a tool named profile wizard, which does a really good job. Have a look at forensit.

Hello

No, the domain name remains the same, I wanted to know if it is possible to migrate from windows dc to nethserver without join the new domain and then migrating user profiles.
I have already used that tool and it works very well

Not a developer, experimenter nor Nethesis related.
AFAIK no.

Samba DC container acts a AD Domain Controller, nor a member server or joint domain controller.
“Taking over” an existing AD afaik never meant to be a goal for the product. Replacing (dead one AD, raised another) yes.

You can try (experimental) to join nethserver as AD server to the windows domain. Have a look at the posts @Andy_Wismer has linked here:
