Hi,
Just changing the domain name might not work. From what I can tell, all your client machines are joined to the NT domain. These are not part of the samba domain and so nobody will be able to log in from them. You would have to create machine accounts for all the client machines, remove them from the domain and then rejoin them to the domain.
Or you could use pwdump2.exe to get the machine trust account passwords for the NT domain. The output of this command could be dumped directly into the smbpasswd file (but I dont know if that still holds) and you should have all the machine accounts. However, there is one issue you'll have to look out for....NT machines automatically change their machine trust passwords every week and so this swap can't be done over a long period or the passwords would have changed.
Hope this helps....

Thanks for replying.
There�s just 20 clients on each domain and they have the same name and password on both domain. I could simply change the domain name on each station but all users will loose their local profiles.
So I imagine that it is more productive to simply change the domain name and turn off the old NT server. Is there any pitfall that I can encounter ?
Simply changing the domain name in the smb.conf is enough ? It�s easy as that ?
Thanks in advance, Josir Gomes

Hi folks,
I have 2 domains: LX01 (WinNT) e LX04 (Samba) and I want consolidate them into one domain LX01.
All the stations is looking for LX01. All users are equal on both servers.
Can I just turn the WinNT off and rename the Samba server to LX01 ? Is there any problem ?
you forgot to mention how many clients on each domain, sometime when clients is less than 50, starting new domain from scartch is the 'correct' way.
