This tutorial is setup in my xen visualization environment on the four horsemen project. To follow what i've done here, please make sure that you have a xen virtualization environment of your own to receive the full brunt of what i'm trying to accomplish

I want need to replace an old samba domain controller in one of my client locations. The computer has since died and all of the user data was still on the old hard drive. As I am attempting to recover the data, i will also be creating a sambaDC from scratch to remake what was lost in the hard drive failure.

I started by rolling a brand new debian VM, for this i will call it nixDC. nixDC will have a Samba setup tied into OpenLDAP for the ability to roll out backup domain controllers, and also in multiple locations as well.
