I have been putting off the migration since I can't afford to lose the existing accounts, especially mid-year.  I want to create a new LDAP/Samba 3 server and then 'just' move the LDAP database over.  Looks like a project for the early summer when I will have time to recover if something flakes.  Thanks for the script, it should make this alot simpler to do in any event.
