Oops - I accidently sent this reply direct to Helmut, isntead of to the list. Here it is for the list.

My most humble apologies to you Helmut - I neglected to check which address the reply was going to.

Hallo, Matt,

Gidday, and thankyou for your reply.

Have you transferred the "localsid" from the old to the new server?

I just tried this then, and it didn't seem to make a difference. The old server has two SID's ... Here's the output

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ sudo net getlocalsid
SID for domain CORWIN2 is: S-1-5-21-2514297305-1808913229-953362460
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ sudo net getlocalsid ALLSTAFF
SID for domain ALLSTAFF is: S-1-5-21-3463326904-3566436207-4149259612

(I'm not going to bother hiding the domain and computer names anymore). ALLSTAFF is the name of the samba domain. CORWIN2 is the name of the old server. The name of the new server is INFRASTRUCTURE.

The localsid on INFRASTRUCTURE used to be "S-1-5-21-1308997507-3478987709-343013683"

I tried using net setlocalsid to change the SID on the new server, and tried both of the SID's above form CORWIN2, but the clients still did not see the domain controller in either case.


I have the following entries in my ldap database for the domains (from a ldapsearch sambaDomainName=* ):

# INFRASTRUCTURE, Allstaff Recruitment, Hamilton, NSW, AU
dn: sambaDomainName=INFRASTRUCTURE,o=Allstaff Recruitment,l=Hamilton,st=NSW,c=
 AU
sambaDomainName: INFRASTRUCTURE

# ALLSTAFF, Allstaff Recruitment, Hamilton, NSW, AU
dn: sambaDomainName=ALLSTAFF,o=Allstaff Recruitment,l=Hamilton,st=NSW,c=AU
sambaDomainName: ALLSTAFF

sambaMinPwdAge: 0
sambaLockoutDuration: 30
sambaLockoutObservationWindow: 30
sambaLockoutThreshold: 0

Should I try and set the sambaSID entry for the ALLSTAFF domain to be the SID for INFRASTRUCTURE?


Sometimes that helps:

       change "domain logon" to "workgroup"; new start
       change "workgroup" to "domain logon"; new start

Sometimes you may need to change the computername too. But that leeds to
problems with the profile ...
The background may be some information about the old server is stored
somewhere in the client's registry.

Yes, I've been trying this , and it's not working :(. ... I'm just about at the stage where I'm going to set the NETBIOS name of the new server to be the same as the old server ;)
