Hi, For reasons best known to the IT admin before myself, we currently have a domain name of WARLOCK. I want to change this. We have about 15 WinXP Pro client machines on the domain as well as a few linux domain clients.
A bit of reading shows that it should be as simple as doing a net getlocalsid, making the change, followed by a net setlocalsid. I started doing this when I noticed something [The PDC machine name is North]: north:~# net getlocalsid SID for domain NORTH is: S-1-5-21-2864586203-3687421127-69847892 north:~# net getlocalsid WARLOCK SID for domain WARLOCK is: S-1-5-21-403220451-921850273-241492889 According to this in the how to: Chapter 13. Remote and Local Management: The Net Command "First, do not forget to store the local SID in a file. It is a good idea to put this in the directory in which the smb.conf file is also stored. Here is a simple action to achieve this: root# net getlocalsid > /etc/samba/my-sid Good, there is now a safe copy of the local machine SID. On a PDC/BDC this is the domain SID also." It says that on a PDC, it should give the domain SID. So, why on my PDC do I get different results for getlocalsid and getlocalsid <DOMAINNAME WHICH NORTH IS PDC FOR>? I'm probably being stupid, but worried if I change the domain name, and do a "setlocalsid S-1-5-21-403220451-921850273-241492889" it will just change the SID of the machine, and I wont be able to restore the domain SID.
