Hello all,

        I am having some difficulties after migrating the PDC from one
server to another cached credentials no longer work.  Users used to be
able to take their laptops home and then logon using their cached
domain credentials.  Now when this is attempted now they get the error
that the GAUACA domain is not available.  All of the group policy
settings are set to allow cached logons and this used to work with the
exact same machines with the exact same GP settings.

       Also the domain name and the servers netbios names are becoming
confused.  We use RDP fairly extensively and to use RDP you have to be
added to the machine as a remote user.  When I add the staff member to
the machine they show up as GAUACA\[username] and then after the first
time they logon to that machine their name changes to
ARDVARC\[username].  GAUACA is the domain name and ARDVARC is the
netbios name of the server.  All works correctly on site users can
login to the domain from any machine that has been joined and works as
expected except for cached credentials.

See smb.conf below
