If the workstations are actually setup to login to a windows domain then i
see no reason why you cannot join the new server to the domain and upgrade
it to a domain controller. Samba is very good at emulating a windows server
so this should work.
The other alternative would be exporting the user list in linux in csv
format and you can use csvde to import the user accounts in windows. However
you would have to change the permissions on all the files and change the
domain the workstations log into.
just my thoughts

Please, please, I really need some help getting pointed in the right
direction.
I have inherited a network which contains NO actual Windows Domain
Controllers. Instead, there are 200 PCs all authenicating against a Samba
3.x server which is apparently emulating a Windows PDC.
I want to retire the samba server and go all 2003AD but I can not find
much about doing this on the web. Everytime I search for Samba/AD stuff I
get articles telling me how to add a Samba server to an AD environment,
which is NOT what I want to do. My goal is to avoid manually migrating
all of the Users and PC accounts into a new domain. That would be a
nightmare.
Can anyone give me some tips and/or point out some articles that talk
about this?
Thank in advance,
Tiffany
