The <command>net</command> command is one of the new features of Samba-3 and is an attempt to provide a useful
tool for the majority of remote management operations necessary for common tasks. The <command>net</command>
tool is flexible by design and is intended for command-line use as well as for scripted control application.

Originally introduced with the intent to mimic the Microsoft Windows command that has the same name, the
<command>net</command> command has morphed into a very powerful instrument that has become an essential part
of the Samba network administrator's toolbox. The Samba Team has introduced tools, such as
<command>smbgroupedit</command> and <command>rpcclient</command>, from which really useful capabilities have
been integrated into the <command>net</command>. The <command>smbgroupedit</command> command was absorbed
entirely into the <command>net</command>, while only some features of the <command>rpcclient</command> command
have been ported to it. Anyone who finds older references to these utilities and to the functionality they
provided should look at the <command>net</command> command before searching elsewhere.

<para>
A Samba-3 administrator cannot afford to gloss over this chapter because to do so will almost certainly cause
the infliction of self-induced pain, agony, and desperation. Be warned: this is an important chapter.

        The tasks that follow the installation of a Samba-3 server, whether standalone or domain member, of a
        domain controller (PDC or BDC) begins with the need to create administrative rights. Of course, the
        creation of user and group accounts is essential for both a standalone server and a PDC.
        In the case of a BDC or a Domain Member server (DMS), domain user and group accounts are obtained from
        the central domain authentication backend.

        Regardless of the type of server being installed, local UNIX groups must be mapped to the Windows
        networking domain global group accounts. Do you ask why? Because Samba always limits its access to
        the resources of the host server by way of traditional UNIX UID and GID controls. This means that local
        groups must be mapped to domain global groups so that domain users who are members of the domain
        global groups can be given access rights based on UIDs and GIDs local to the server that is hosting
        Samba. Such mappings are implemented using the <command>net</command> command.

        UNIX systems that are hosting a Samba-3 server that is running as a member (PDC, BDC, or DMS) must have
        a machine security account in the domain authentication database (or directory). The creation of such
        security (or trust) accounts is also handled using the <command>net</command> command.

        The overall picture should be clear now: the <command>net</command> command plays a central role
        on the Samba-3 stage. This role will continue to be developed. The inclusion of this chapter is
        evidence of its importance, one that has grown in complexity to the point that it is no longer considered
        prudent to cover its use fully in the online UNIX man pages.

        The basic operations of the <command>net</command> command are documented here. This documentation is not
        exhaustive, and thus it is incomplete. Since the primary focus is on migration from Windows servers to a Samba
        server, the emphasis is on the use of the Distributed Computing Environment Remote Procedure Call (DCE RPC)
        mode of operation. When used against a server that is a member of an Active Directory domain, it is preferable
        (and often necessary) to use ADS mode operations. The <command>net</command> command supports both, but not
        for every operation. For most operations, if the mode is not specified, <command>net</command> will
        automatically fall back via the <constant>ads</constant>, <constant>rpc</constant>, and
        <constant>rap</constant> modes.  Please refer to the man page for a more comprehensive overview of the
        capabilities of this utility.

        As stated, the focus in most of this chapter is on use of the <command>net rpc</command> family of
        operations that are supported by Samba. Most of them are supported by the <command>net ads</command>
        mode when used in connection with Active Directory. The <command>net rap</command> operating mode is
        also supported for some of these operations. RAP protocols are used by IBM OS/2 and by several
        earlier SMB servers.

        Samba-3 recognizes two types of groups: <emphasis>domain groups</emphasis> and <emphasis>local
        groups</emphasis>. Domain groups can contain (have as members) only domain user accounts. Local groups
        can contain local users, domain users, and domain groups as members.
        </para>

        <para>
        The purpose of a local group is to permit file permission to be set for a group account that, like the
        usual UNIX/Linux group, is persistent across redeployment of a Windows file server.

        <title>Adding, Renaming, or Deletion of Group Accounts</title>

        <para>
        Samba provides file and print services to Windows clients. The file system resources it makes available
        to the Windows environment must, of necessity, be provided in a manner that is compatible with the
        Windows networking environment. UNIX groups are created and deleted as required to serve operational
        needs in the UNIX operating system and its file systems.
        </para>

        <para>
        In order to make available to the Windows environment, Samba has a facility by which UNIX groups can
        be mapped to a logical entity, called a Windows (or domain) group. Samba supports two types of Windows
        groups, local and global. Global groups can contain as members, global users. This membership is
        affected in the normal UNIX manner, but adding UNIX users to UNIX groups. Windows user accounts consist
        of a mapping between a user SambaSAMAccount (logical entity) and a UNIX user account. Therefore, 
        a UNIX user is mapped to a Windows user (i.e., is given a Windows user account and password) and the
        UNIX groups to which that user belongs, is mapped to a Windows group account. The result is that in
        the Windows account environment that user is also a member of the Windows group account by virtue
        of UNIX group memberships.
        </para>

        <para>
        The following sub-sections that deal with management of Windows groups demonstrates the relationship
        between the UNIX group account and its members to the respective Windows group accounts. It goes on to
        show how UNIX group members automatically pass-through to Windows group membership as soon as a logical
        mapping has been created.

        <title>Adding or Creating a New Group</title>

<indexterm><primary>Windows groups</primary></indexterm>
<indexterm><primary>system groups</primary></indexterm>
<indexterm><primary>access controls</primary></indexterm>
        Windows groups must be mapped to UNIX system (POSIX) groups so that file system access controls
        can be asserted in a manner that is consistent with the methods appropriate to the operating
        system that is hosting the Samba server.

<indexterm><primary>locally known UID</primary></indexterm>
        All file system (file and directory) access controls, within the file system of a UNIX/Linux server that is
        hosting a Samba server, are implemented using a UID/GID identity tuple. Samba does not in any way override
        or replace UNIX file system semantics. Thus it is necessary that all Windows networking operations that
        access the file system provide a mechanism that maps a Windows user to a particular UNIX/Linux group
        account. The user account must also map to a locally known UID. Note that the <command>net</command>
        command does not call any RPC-functions here but directly accesses the passdb.

        Samba depends on default mappings for the <constant>Domain Admins, Domain Users</constant>, and
        <constant>Domain Guests</constant> global groups. Additional groups may be added as shown in the
        examples just given. There are times when it is necessary to map an existing UNIX group account
        to a Windows group. This operation, in effect, creates a Windows group account as a consequence
        of creation of the mapping.

        </para>

        <note><para>
        Commencing with Samba-3.0.23 Windows Domain Groups must be explicitly created. By default, all
        UNIX groups are exposed to Windows networking as Windows local groups.
        </para></note>

        <para>
        An existing UNIX group may be mapped to an existing Windows group by this example:
<screen>
&rootprompt; net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Users" unixgroup=users
</screen>
        An existing UNIX group may be mapped to a new Windows group as shown here:
<screen>
&rootprompt; net groupmap add ntgroup="EliteEngrs" unixgroup=Engineers type=d
</screen>
        Supported mapping types are 'd' (domain global) and 'l' (domain local).
        A Windows group may be deleted, and then a new Windows group can be mapped to the UNIX group by
        executing these commands:
<screen>
&rootprompt; net groupmap delete ntgroup=Engineers
&rootprompt; net groupmap add ntgroup=EngineDrivers unixgroup=Engineers type=d
</screen>
        The deletion and addition operations affected only the logical entities known as Windows groups, or domain
        groups. These operations are inert to UNIX system groups, meaning that they neither delete nor create UNIX
        system groups. The mapping of a UNIX group to a Windows group makes the UNIX group available as Windows
        groups so that files and folders on domain member clients (workstations and servers) can be given
        domain-wide access controls for domain users and groups.
        </para>

        <para>
        Two types of Windows groups can be created: <constant>domain (global)</constant> and <constant>local</constant>.
        In the previous examples the Windows groups created were of type <constant>domain</constant> or global. The
        following command will create a Windows group of type <constant>local</constant>.
<screen>
&rootprompt; net groupmap add ntgroup=Pixies unixgroup=pixies type=l
</screen>
        Supported mapping types are 'd' (domain global) and 'l' (domain local), a domain local group in Samba is
        treated as local to the individual Samba server. Local groups can be used with Samba to enable multiple
        nested group support.

        Three operations can be performed regarding group membership. It is possible to (1) add Windows users

        An attempt to specify the group name as <constant>MIDEARTH\Domain Users</constant> in place of
        just simply <constant>Domain Users</constant> will fail. The default behavior of the net rpc group
        is to direct the command at the local machine. The Windows group is treated as being local to the machine.
        If it is necessary to query another machine, its name can be specified using the <constant>-S
        servername</constant> parameter to the <command>net</command> command.

        <title>Managing Nest Groups on Workstations from the Samba Server</title>

        <para>
        Windows network administrators often ask on the Samba mailing list how it is possible to grant everyone
        administrative rights on their own workstation. This is of course a very bad practice, but commonly done
        to avoid user complaints. Here is how it can be done remotely from a Samba PDC or BDC:
<indexterm><primary>net</primary><secondary>rpc</secondary><tertiary>group addmem</tertiary></indexterm>
<screen>
&rootprompt; net rpc group addmem "Administrators" "Domain Users" \
    -S WINPC032 -Uadministrator%secret

        </para>

        <para>
        This can be scripted, and can therefore be performed as a user logs onto the domain from a Windows
        workstation. Here is a simple example that shows how this can be done.

        This script will be executed every time a user logs on to the network. Therefore every user will
        have local Windows workstation management rights. This could of course be assigned using a group,
        in which case there is little justification for the use of this procedure. The key justification
        for the use of this method is that it will guarantee that all users have appropriate rights on
        the workstation.

        Every Windows network user account must be translated to a UNIX/Linux user account. In actual fact,

        from a system (POSIX) account or from a pool (range) of UID numbers that is set aside for the purpose
        of being allocated for use by Windows user accounts. In the case of the UID pool, the UID for a

        In some situations it is unavoidable that a user's Windows logon name will differ from the login ID

        New to Samba version 3.0.11 is the ability to delegate administrative privileges as necessary to either

        Initial user rights and privileges can be assigned by any account that is a member of the <constant>

        <para>
        There are essentially two types of trust relationships: the first is between domain controllers and domain
        member machines (network clients), the second is between domains (called interdomain trusts). All
        Samba servers that participate in domain security require a domain membership trust account, as do like
        Windows NT/200x/XP workstations.
        </para>

        <sect2>
        <title>Machine Trust Accounts</title>

        <para>
        The net command looks in the &smb.conf; file to obtain its own configuration settings. Thus, the following
        command 'knows' which domain to join from the &smb.conf; file.
        </para>

        <para>
        A Samba server domain trust account can be validated as shown in this example:
<indexterm><primary>net</primary><secondary>rpc</secondary><tertiary>testjoin</tertiary></indexterm>
<screen>
&rootprompt; net rpc testjoin
Join to 'MIDEARTH' is OK
</screen>
        Where there is no domain membership account, or when the account credentials are not valid, the following
        results will be observed:
<screen>
net rpc testjoin -S DOLPHIN
Join to domain 'WORLDOCEAN' is not valid
</screen>
        </para>

        <para>
        The equivalent command for joining a Samba server to a Windows ADS domain is shown here:
<indexterm><primary>net</primary><secondary>ads</secondary><tertiary>testjoin</tertiary></indexterm>
<screen>
&rootprompt; net ads testjoin
Using short domain name -- TAKEAWAY
Joined 'LEMONADE' to realm 'TAKEAWAY.BIZ'
</screen>
        In the event that the ADS trust was not established, or is broken for one reason or another, the following
        error message may be obtained:
<screen>
&rootprompt; net ads testjoin -UAdministrator%secret
Join to domain is not valid
</screen>
        </para>

        <para>
        The following demonstrates the process of creating a machine trust account in the target domain for the
        Samba server from which the command is executed:
<indexterm><primary>net</primary><secondary>rpc</secondary><tertiary>join</tertiary></indexterm>
<screen>
&rootprompt; net rpc join -S FRODO -Uroot%not24get
Joined domain MIDEARTH.
</screen>
        The joining of a Samba server to a Samba domain results in the creation of a machine account. An example
        of this is shown here:
<screen>
&rootprompt; pdbedit -Lw merlin\$
merlin$:1009:9B4489D6B90461FD6A3EC3AB96147E16:\
176D8C554E99914BDF3407DEA2231D80:[S          ]:LCT-42891919:
</screen>
        The S in the square brackets means this is a server (PDC/BDC) account. The domain join can be cast to join
        purely as a workstation, in which case the S is replaced with a W (indicating a workstation account). The
        following command can be used to affect this:
<indexterm><primary>net</primary><secondary>rpc</secondary><tertiary>join member</tertiary></indexterm>
<screen>
&rootprompt; net rpc join member -S FRODO -Uroot%not24get
Joined domain MIDEARTH.
</screen>
        Note that the command-line parameter <constant>member</constant> makes this join specific. By default
        the type is deduced from the &smb.conf; file configuration. To specifically join as a PDC or BDC, the
        command-line parameter will be <constant>[PDC | BDC]</constant>. For example:
<indexterm><primary>net</primary><secondary>rpc</secondary><tertiary>join bdc</tertiary></indexterm>
<screen>
&rootprompt; net rpc join bdc -S FRODO -Uroot%not24get
Joined domain MIDEARTH.
</screen>
        It is best to let Samba figure out the domain join type from the settings in the &smb.conf; file.
        </para>

        There is no specific option to remove a machine account from an NT4 domain. When a domain member that is a
        Windows machine is withdrawn from the domain, the domain membership account is not automatically removed
        either. Inactive domain member accounts can be removed using any convenient tool. If necessary, the
        machine account can be removed using the following <command>net</command> command:
<indexterm><primary>net</primary><secondary>rpc</secondary><tertiary>user delete</tertiary></indexterm>
<screen>
&rootprompt; net rpc user delete HERRING\$ -Uroot%not24get
Deleted user account.
</screen>
        The removal is made possible because machine accounts are just like user accounts with a trailing $
        character. The account management operations treat user and machine accounts in like manner.

        <title>Interdomain Trusts</title>

        Interdomain trust relationships form the primary mechanism by which users from one domain can be granted
        access rights and privileges in another domain. 
        </para>

        <para>
        To discover what trust relationships are in effect, execute this command:

        There are no interdomain trusts at this time; the following steps will create them.
        </para>

        <para>
        It is necessary to create a trust account in the local domain. A domain controller in a second domain can
        create a trusted connection with this account. That means that the foreign domain is being trusted
        to access resources in the local domain. This command creates the local trust account:
<indexterm><primary>net</primary><secondary>rpc</secondary><tertiary>trustdom add</tertiary></indexterm>
<screen>
&rootprompt; net rpc trustdom add DAMNATION f00db4r -Uroot%not24get

        The account can be revealed by using the <command>pdbedit</command> as shown here:

        <para>
        Where a trust account has been created on a foreign domain, Samba is able to establish the trust (connect with)
        the foreign account. In the process it creates a one-way trust to the resources on the remote domain. This
        command achieves the objective of joining the trust relationship:
<indexterm><primary>net</primary><secondary>rpc</secondary><tertiary>trustdom establish</tertiary></indexterm>

&rootprompt; net rpc trustdom establish DAMNATION

        At other times it becomes necessary to remove the ability for users from a foreign domain to be able to
        access resources in the local domain. The command shown here will do that:

<indexterm><primary>SID</primary></indexterm>
<indexterm><primary>desktop profiles</primary></indexterm>
<indexterm><primary>user encoded</primary></indexterm>
<indexterm><primary>group SID</primary></indexterm>
        The basic security identifier that is used by all Windows networking operations is the Windows security
        identifier (SID). All Windows network machines (servers and workstations), users, and groups are
        identified by their respective SID. All desktop profiles are also encoded with user and group SIDs that
        are specific to the SID of the domain to which the user belongs.
        </para>

        <para>
<indexterm><primary>machine SID</primary></indexterm>
<indexterm><primary>domain SID</primary></indexterm>
<indexterm><primary>SID</primary></indexterm>
<indexterm><primary>rejoin</primary></indexterm>
        It is truly prudent to store the machine and/or domain SID in a file for safekeeping. Why? Because 
        a change in hostname or in the domain (workgroup) name may result in a change in the SID. When you
        have the SID on hand, it is a simple matter to restore it. The alternative is to suffer the pain of
        having to recover user desktop profiles and perhaps rejoin all member machines to the domain.
        </para>

        <para>
        First, do not forget to store the local SID in a file. It is a good idea to put this in the directory
        in which the &smb.conf; file is also stored. Here is a simple action to achieve this:
<indexterm><primary>net</primary><secondary>getlocalsid</secondary></indexterm>
<screen>
&rootprompt; net getlocalsid > /etc/samba/my-sid
</screen>
        Good, there is now a safe copy of the local machine SID. On a PDC/BDC this is the domain SID also.
        </para>

        <para>
        The following command reveals what the former one should have placed into the file called
        <filename>my-sid</filename>:
<screen>
&rootprompt; net getlocalsid
SID for domain MERLIN is: S-1-5-21-726309263-4128913605-1168186429
</screen>
        </para>

        <para>
        If ever it becomes necessary to restore the SID that has been stored in the <filename>my-sid</filename>
        file, simply copy the SID (the string of characters that begins with <constant>S-1-5-21</constant>) to
        the command line shown here:
<indexterm><primary>net</primary><secondary>setlocalsid</secondary></indexterm>
<screen>
&rootprompt; net setlocalsid S-1-5-21-1385457007-882775198-1210191635
</screen>
        Restoration of a machine SID is a simple operation, but the absence of a backup copy can be very
        problematic.
        </para>

        <para>
        The following operation is useful only for machines that are being configured as a PDC or a BDC.
        DMS and workstation clients should have their own machine SID to avoid
        any potential namespace collision. Here is the way that the BDC SID can be synchronized to that
        of the PDC (this is the default NT4 domain practice also):
<indexterm><primary>net</primary><secondary>rpc</secondary><tertiary>getsid</tertiary></indexterm>
<screen>
&rootprompt; net rpc getsid -S FRODO -Uroot%not24get

        Usually it is not necessary to specify the target server (-S FRODO) or the administrator account
        credentials (-Uroot%not24get).

        <para>
        Each of these are dealt with here insofar as they involve the use of the <command>net</command>
        command. Operations outside of this command are covered elsewhere in this document.

        <sect2>
        <title>Creating, Editing, and Removing Shares</title>

        <para>
        A share can be added using the <command>net rpc share</command> command capabilities.
        The target machine may be local or remote and is specified by the -S option. It must be noted
        that the addition and deletion of shares using this tool depends on the availability of a suitable
        interface script. The interface scripts Sambas <command>smbd</command> uses are called
        <smbconfoption name="add share command"/>, <smbconfoption name="delete share command"/> and
        <smbconfoption name="change share command"/> A set of example scripts are provided in the Samba source
        code tarball in the directory <filename>~samba/examples/scripts</filename>.
        </para>

        <para>
        The following steps demonstrate the use of the share management capabilities of the <command>net</command>
        utility. In the first step a share called <constant>Bulge</constant> is added. The sharepoint within the
        file system is the directory <filename>/data</filename>. The command that can be executed to perform the
        addition of this share is shown here:
<indexterm><primary>net</primary><secondary>rpc</secondary><tertiary>share add</tertiary></indexterm>
<screen>
&rootprompt; net rpc share add Bulge=/data -S MERLIN -Uroot%not24get
</screen>
        Validation is an important process, and by executing the command <command>net rpc share</command>
        with no other operators it is possible to obtain a listing of available shares, as shown here:
<screen>
&rootprompt; net rpc share -S MERLIN -Uroot%not24get
profdata
archive
Bulge   &lt;--- This one was added
print$
netlogon

        </para>

        <para>
        Often it is desirable also to permit a share to be removed using a command-line tool.
        The following step permits the share that was previously added to be removed:
<indexterm><primary>net</primary><secondary>rpc</secondary><tertiary>share delete</tertiary></indexterm>
<screen>
&rootprompt; net rpc share delete Bulge -S MERLIN -Uroot%not24get

        A simple validation shown here demonstrates that the share has been removed:

<indexterm><primary>net</primary><secondary>rpc</secondary><tertiary>vampire</tertiary></indexterm>
        Shares and files can be migrated in the same manner as user, machine, and group accounts.
        It is possible to preserve access control settings (ACLs) as well as security settings
        throughout the migration process. The <command>net rpc vampire</command> facility is used
        to migrate accounts from a Windows NT4 (or later) domain to a Samba server. This process
        preserves passwords and account security settings and is a precursor to the migration
        of shares and files.
        </para>

        <para>
        The <command>net rpc share</command> command may be used to migrate shares, directories,
        files, and all relevant data from a Windows server to a Samba server.
        </para>

        <para>
        A set of command-line switches permit the creation of almost direct clones of Windows file
        servers. For example, when migrating a fileserver, file ACLs and DOS file attributes from
        the Windows server can be included in the migration process and will reappear, almost identically,
        on the Samba server when the migration has been completed.
        </para>

        <para>
        The migration process can be completed only with the Samba server already being fully operational.
        The user and group accounts must be migrated before attempting to migrate data
        share, files, and printers. The migration of files and printer configurations involves the use
        of both SMB and MS DCE RPC services. The benefit of the manner in which the migration process has
        been implemented is that the possibility now exists to use a Samba server as a man-in-middle migration
        service that affects a transfer of data from one server to another. For example, if the Samba
        server is called MESSER, the source Windows NT4 server is called PEPPY, and the target Samba
        server is called GONZALES, the machine MESSER can be used to effect the migration of all data
        (files and shares) from PEPPY to GONZALES. If the target machine is not specified, the local
        server is assumed by default - as net's general rule of thumb .
        </para>

        <para>
        The success of server migration requires a firm understanding of the structure of the source
        server (or domain) as well as  the processes on which the migration is critically dependant.
        </para>

        <para>
        There are two known limitations to the migration process:

        <title>Share Migration</title>

        <para>
        The <command>net rpc share migrate</command> command operation permits the migration of plain
        share stanzas. A stanza contains the parameters within which a file or print share are defined.
        The use of this migration method will create share stanzas that have as parameters the file
        system directory path, an optional description, and simple security settings that permit write
        access to files. One of the first steps necessary following migration is to review the share
        stanzas to ensure that the settings are suitable for use.
        </para>

        <para>
        The shares are created on the fly as part of the migration process. The <command>smbd</command>
        application does this by calling on the operating system to execute the script specified by the 
        &smb.conf; parameter <parameter>add share command</parameter>.
        </para>

        <para>
        There is a suitable example script for the <parameter>add share command</parameter> in the
        <filename>$SAMBA_SOURCES/examples/scripts</filename> directory. It should be noted that
        the account that is used to drive the migration must, of necessity, have appropriate file system
        access privileges and have the right to create shares and to set ACLs on them. Such rights are
        conferred by these rights: <parameter>SeAddUsersPrivilege</parameter> and <parameter>SeDiskOperatorPrivilege</parameter>.
        For more information regarding rights and privileges please refer to <link linkend="rights"/>.
        </para>

        <para>
        The syntax of the share migration command is shown here:
<screen>
net rpc share MIGRATE SHARES &lt;share-name&gt; -S &lt;source&gt;
        [--destination=localhost] [--exclude=share1,share2] [-v]
</screen>
        When the parameter &lt;share-name&gt; is omitted, all shares will be migrated. The potentially
        large list of available shares on the system that is being migrated can be limited using the
        <parameter>--exclude</parameter> switch. For example:
<indexterm><primary>net</primary><secondary>rpc</secondary><tertiary>share migrate</tertiary></indexterm>
<screen>
&rootprompt; net rpc share migrate shares myshare\
         -S win2k -U administrator%secret"
</screen>
        This will migrate the share <constant>myshare</constant> from the server <constant>win2k</constant>
        to the Samba Server using the permissions that are tied to the account <constant>administrator</constant> 
        with the password <constant>secret</constant>. The account that is used must be the same on both the
        migration source server and the target Samba server. The use of the <command>net rpc
        vampire</command>, prior to attempting the migration of shares, will ensure that accounts will be
        identical on both systems. One precaution worth taking before commencement of migration of shares is
        to validate that the migrated accounts (on the Samba server) have the needed rights and privileges.
        This can be done as shown here:
<indexterm><primary>net</primary><secondary>rpc</secondary><tertiary>right list accounts</tertiary></indexterm>
<screen>
&rootprompt; net rpc right list accounts -Uroot%not24get
</screen>
        The steps taken so far perform only the migration of shares. Directories and directory contents
        are not migrated by the steps covered up to this point.

        <title>File and Directory Migration</title>

        <para>
        Everything covered to this point has been done in preparation for the migration of file and directory
        data. For many people preparation is potentially boring and the real excitement only begins when file
        data can be used. The next steps demonstrate the techniques that can be used to transfer (migrate)
        data files using the <command>net</command> command.
        </para>

        <para>
        Transfer of files from one server to another has always been a challenge for MS Windows
        administrators because Windows NT and 200X servers do not always include the tools needed. The
        <command>xcopy</command> from Windows NT is not capable of preserving file and directory ACLs, 
        it does so only with Windows 200x. Microsoft does provide a
        utility that can copy ACLs (security settings) called <command>scopy</command>, but it is provided only
        as part of the Windows NT or 200X Server Resource Kit.
        </para>

        <para>
        There are several tools, both commercial and freeware, that can be used from a Windows server to copy files
        and directories with full preservation of security settings. One of the best known of the free tools is
        called <command>robocopy</command>.
        </para>

        <para>
        The <command>net</command> utility can be used to copy files and directories with full preservation of
        ACLs as well as DOS file attributes. Note that including ACLs makes sense only where the destination
        system will operate within the same security context as the source system. This applies both to a
        DMS and to domain controllers that result from a vampired domain.
        Before file and directory migration, all shares must already exist.
        </para>

        <para>
        The syntax for the migration commands is shown here:
<screen>
net rpc share MIGRATE FILES &lt;share-name&gt; -S &lt;source&gt;
    [--destination=localhost] [--exclude=share1,share2]
    [--acls] [--attrs] [--timestamps] [-v]
</screen>
        If the &lt;share-name&gt; parameter is omitted, all shares will be migrated. The potentially large
        list of shares on the source system can be restricted using the <parameter>--exclude</parameter> command
        switch.
        </para>

        <para>
        Where it is necessary to preserve all file ACLs, the <parameter>--acls</parameter> switch should be added
        to the above command line. Original file timestamps can be preserved by specifying the
        <parameter>--timestamps</parameter> switch, and the DOS file attributes (i.e., hidden, archive, etc.) can
        be preserved by specifying the <parameter>--attrs</parameter> switch.
        </para>

        <note><para>
        The ability to preserve ACLs depends on appropriate support for ACLs as well as the general file system
        semantics of the host operating system on the target server. A migration from one Windows file server to
        another will perfectly preserve all file attributes. Because of the difficulty of mapping Windows ACLs
        onto a POSIX ACLs-supporting system, there can be no perfect migration of Windows ACLs to a Samba server.

        The ACLs that result on a Samba server will most probably not match the originating ACLs. Windows supports
        the possibility of files that are owned only by a group. Group-alone file ownership is not possible under
        UNIX/Linux. Errors in migrating group-owned files can be avoided by using the &smb.conf; file
        <smbconfoption name="force unknown acl user">yes</smbconfoption> parameter. This facility will
        automatically convert group-owned files into correctly user-owned files on the Samba server.

&rootprompt; net rpc share migrate files -S nt4box --acls \
    --attrs -U administrator%secret

        <para>
        This command  will migrate all files and directories from all file shares on the Windows server called
        <constant>nt4box</constant> to the Samba server from which migration is initiated. Files that are group-owned
        will be owned by the user account <constant>administrator</constant>.

        <title>Share-ACL Migration</title>
        <para>
        It is possible to have share-ACLs (security descriptors) that won't allow you, even as Administrator, to
        copy any files or directories into it. Therefor the migration of the share-ACLs has been put into a separate
        function:
<indexterm><primary>net</primary><secondary>rpc</secondary><tertiary>share migrate security</tertiary></indexterm>
<screen>
&rootprompt; net rpc share migrate security -S nt4box -U administrator%secret
</screen>
        </para>

        <para>
        This command will only copy the share-ACL of each share on nt4box to your local samba-system.

<screen>
&rootprompt; net rpc share migrate all -S w2k3server -U administrator%secret
</screen>
        This will generate a complete server clone of the <parameter>w2k3server</parameter> server.

        <title>Printer Migration</title>

        <para>
        The installation of a new server, as with the migration to a new network environment, often is similar to
        building a house; progress is very rapid from the laying of foundations up to the stage at which
        the house can be locked up, but the finishing off appears to take longer and longer as building
        approaches completion.
        </para>

        <para>
        Printing needs vary greatly depending on the network environment and may be very simple or complex. If
        the need is very simple, the best solution to the implementation of printing support may well be to
        re-install everything from a clean slate instead of migrating older configurations. On the other hand,
        a complex network that is integrated with many international offices and a multiplexity of local branch
        offices, each of which form an inter-twined maze of printing possibilities, the ability to migrate all
        printer configurations is decidedly beneficial. To manually re-establish a complex printing network
        will take much time and frustration. Often it will not be possible to find driver files that are
        currently in use, necessitating the installation of newer drivers. Newer drivers often implement
        printing features that will necessitate a change in the printer usage. Additionally, with very complex
        printer configurations it becomes almost impossible to re-create the same environment &smbmdash; no matter
        how extensively it has been documented.
        </para>

        <para>
        The migration of an existing printing architecture involves the following:

        The Samba <command>net</command> utility permits printer migration from one Windows print server
        to another. When this tool is used to migrate printers to a Samba server <command>smbd</command>,
        the application that receives the network requests to create the necessary services must call out
        to the operating system in order to create the underlying printers. The call-out is implemented
        by way of an interface script that can be specified by the &smb.conf; file parameter
        <smbconfoption name="add printer script"/>. This script is essential to the migration process.
        A suitable example script may be obtained from the <filename>$SAMBA_SOURCES/examples/scripts</filename>
        directory. Take note that this script must be customized to suit the operating system environment
        and may use its tools to create a print queue.

        <para>
        Each of the components listed above can be completed separately, or they can be completed as part of an
        automated operation. Many network administrators prefer to deal with migration issues in a manner that
        gives them the most control, particularly when things go wrong. The syntax for each operation is now
        briefly described.

        When Samba-3 is used within an MS Windows ADS environment, printers shared via Samba will not be browseable
        until they have been published to the ADS domain. Information regarding published printers may be obtained
        from the ADS server by executing the <command>net ads print info</command> command following this syntax:
<indexterm><primary>net</primary><secondary>ads</secondary><tertiary>printer info</tertiary></indexterm>
<screen>
net ads printer info &lt;printer_name&gt; &lt;server_name&gt; -Uadministrator%secret

        If the asterisk (*) is used in place of the printer_name argument, a list of all printers will be
        returned.
        </para>

        <para>
        To publish (make available) a printer to ADS, execute the following command:

        </para>

        <para>
        Winbind must be shut down to dump the IDMAP file. Before restoring a dump file, shut down

        In the event that it is the intent to pass the time information obtained to the UNIX
        <command>/bin/time</command>, it is a good idea to obtain the time from the target server in a format
        that is ready to be passed through. This may be done by executing:
<indexterm><primary>net</primary><secondary>time</secondary><tertiary>system</tertiary></indexterm>
<screen>
&rootprompt; net time system -S FRODO
051700532005.16
</screen>
        The time can be set on a target server by executing:
<indexterm><primary>net</primary><secondary>time</secondary><tertiary>set</tertiary></indexterm>
<screen>
&rootprompt; net time set -S MAGGOT -U Administrator%not24get
Tue May 17 00:55:30 MDT 2005
