I didn't demote the PDC to a BDC. I used the rpcclient utility to get the SID for the domain. Like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] rpcclient <YOUR_PDC> -U administrator Enter Password: session setup ok Domain=[YOURDOMAIN] OS=[Windows NT 4.0] Server=[NT LAN Manager 4.0] rpcclient $> lsaquery domain YOURDOMAIN has sid S-1-5-21-1363377815-237862100-1307212239 rpcclient $> quit You then use smbpasswd -W to force your Samba server to use this SID Keeping the NetBIOS name is not an issue, just copy all your shares from the old PDC over to Samba and you dumb windoze clients won't even know the difference! -- Scott -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
