I want to migrate our classic Samba 3 domain on SLES 11 to an Active Directory Samba 4 installation on SLES 12. The Samba Wiki recommends ‘samba-tool classicupgrade’ for this, but I could not find teh tool on SLES 12. All samba related packages are installed. Is the tool not available on SLES 12?

Do you have a link to the wikip age? I have never seen this tool, and
cannot find it on SLES 11 or 12 right now, but seeing the original link
may help.

From SuSE support, last year, we learned that “Suse does not support a samba 4 AD DC”.
That may be the reason for the missing samba-tool command.
I’ve heard that most Sambistas choose the Sernet packages, which, of course, are also not supported by SuSE / Novell.
Let me know if you learned something different.

Hi Thomas,
thank you for the link. I will use the Sernet packages or change to another Linux distribution. I think SuSE only supports Samba membership in an existing Active Directory.
