Hello,
Using Ubuntu 10.4 LTS,
I am successfully joining this computer to a AD network (server = win
2003).
(using likewise)
I would like to try this : change the name of the (linux) client,
sothat the server takes this change in account : WITHOUT UNJOINING THE
DOMAIN.
With a XP workstation, it is easy to do it : XP just ask you to provide
a domain-admin login+password, and then the transaction is made.
Is there any possibility to do the same using a linux client ?
I just tested to change the /etc/hostname file, then (of course) I could
not log to the domain anymore. Not surprised of this reaction, it is
quite normal.
I feel that for the moment, the only possibility to do it is : (1)
unjoin from domain (2) change hostname (3) join to domain
It is not practical.
All I can successfuly do at this moment is :
domainjoin-cli leave
domainjoin-cli setname newname
domainjoin-cli join ............................
my final target :
- managing many computers
- some already joined to the domain, some not yet
- computer learns its hostname through the DNS system, and compares it
with its hostname file
- if dns-hostname is different from local-hostname, then update
local-hostname
- if already joined to a domain, must dialog with the server to adjust
its name in the Active-Directory
Does any tool exist in the samba project that can dialog with the server
to dynamically change the hostname on both side (client + server) ?
