[Samba] Procedure to rebuild a Samba PDC?

Greetings-

Is there anywhere documented the correct process / procedure to go through when rebuilding a PDC on a new system (hardware refresh)?

It will a move from Debian Sarge with the 3.0.26a packages from samba.org to Ubuntu Server 8.04, and I think the stock Samba packages for now.

Thanks!

On a thread above (via NNTP), Florian Marinier referenced this link:

Looks very helpful.

move all of the .tdb files, and /etc/samba/* and everything in
/var/lib/samba/* and of course any data you have. write down the SID
of the old server (net getlocalsid, net getdomainsid) and set the new
server to the same SID with net setlocalsid

Also, if you have any domain trusts you will want to be very sure to
preserve /etc/samba/secrets.tdb intact. Recent versions of samba
(such as 3.0.25 through 3.0.28) don't seem to be able to create
functional interdomain trust accounts, but sometimes they will work if
you have a secrets.tdb from a functioning older server.
