you haven't tried experimenting with backing up and restoring the samba
password cache. look in /var/*/samba and /var/*/*/samba for files
related to the password cache to backup and restore.

I often change configurations in a home server environment, and have scripts

I'm using version 3.4.7 as a PDC on Ubuntu with 4 Windows 7 clients. I can
restore smb.conf which gets the file shares and server configuration back,
but I lose the trust relationship with the clients and I can't figure out
how to get it back (short of completely clearing all the profiles and
dropping/adding to the domain.) I'm making the following assumptions:
- There must be some sort of signature for the Samba/OS installation that
changes
- This signature must be recorded in Windows somewhere for it to validate
the relationship (like known_hosts)
I've tried the following in just about every order you can imagine:
- Modifying/removing the profile registry entries in Windows
- Removing/restoring the user directory in Windows
- Removing/restoring the profile.v2 directory in Ubuntu
- Experimenting with various local policy settings in Windows
- Re-adding client to the domain
- Using smbpasswd to recreate the users
There must be something I can backup/change to retain/reestablish the trust
relationship without having to scrap all the user profiles? Thanks in
advance - all my reading so far has been of little help.
