Hi Doug, *, again for whatever reason the listmail did not arrive in my mailbox. The private copy did! Hmmm.

The one I tried to login with is one of about twenty waiting for the day they meet again a well prepaired samba PDC offering a domain with the same (SID) as it's father(+) did. All of them hold meanwhile locally one or more daily updated profiles which will be lost, if I don't succeed. > Why not simply >~ net rpc join Join the PDC to the "new" domain with old name? >and allow the normal mechanisms to work? Accidently two workstations where joined to the "new" domain (with old name) wich caused unwanted results. I called paid support which mentioned command net setdomainsid which sounds good. I got "net getdomainsid" to work which shows the difference between pdc's machine SID and domain's SID. Both commands aren't listed in "man net" of samba 3.0.22 and the first one is not recognized. :o(( I'll report further. Your help is highly apreciated. -- Friedrich beste Grüße/best regards von der/from the Sonnenalb - Germany -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
