• Migrating Active Directory to Samba, One Domain Controller at a Time

  Replacing two Windows Server 2019 domain controllers with Samba AD via an in-place replica join — preserving every SID so no workstation ever notices, executed across one night and the following day, split by an AI usage-limit reset.

• Preparing the Windows Fleet for Samba

  Before the domain controllers could move to Samba, the rest of the Windows fleet had to come under Ansible management and trust a new root CA — the evening of prep work the migration blitz depended on.
