I concur with that statement - "net rpc vampire" worked fine for me too. The issue in my case was that Windows XP had somehow cached the DNS name of the former ADS server in my test network. When I would login to the XP box, the sniffer showed that the laptop would complete a few successful transactions with the Samba PDC, then start looking for the old Windows ADS/PDC box and then issue the "the domain cannot be found" message. One symptom was that when I re-joined the domain using its NETBIOS name rather than ADS-style full domain name, the full domain name was still in the "Network Identification" section of the control panel/System after I rebooted. > Anway, you should be able to simply 're-join' the domain and not join a > workgroup (i.e. - leave the domain) and not imperil users profiles. How would leaving the domain and rejoining imperil the profiles? Every time I've done that (Win2000, XP), the local profiles were undamaged once I returned to the domain. I haven't tried roaming profiles, though. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
