Is there a walk through or how to for migrating users from one LDAP server to another? I am looking to migrate from an outdated Samba directory server to MS AD. My initial tests indicated existing user accounts were modified. I’m hoping someone has done this and it is documented. Thanks in advance. ---

I think I found something that may do the trick. > [@Migrating OpenLDAP to AD backend](https://help.nextcloud.com/t/migrating-openldap-to-ad-backend/35404): > > Hi, I am having to migrate LDAP backends for my Nextcloud version 13.0.4 server. Currently, my (NGO, non-profit) users authenticate against an OpenLDAP server, but their accounts have since been moved to an Active Directory. Of course, users do not want to use their profiles or files. Has anyone done this before and could outline the process? Thanks! ---
