Brian H binaryno...@gmail.com http://www.binarynomad.com Sure, but you must reset the domain SID after you change the server name. Before changing the server name: net getdomainsid Stop winbind, smbd, nmbd. Change the server name. After changing the server name, and BEFORE starting nmbd, smbd, and winbind: net setdomainsid S-1-5-21-xx-xxx- per the domain SID reported by 'net getdomainsid' - John T. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba

i'd probably just use netbios aliases = PDCNAME and rehash the config and see if that works first. Brian H wrote: We are replacing a failing PDC.
