Readding Machine to the Domain

[Björn Simon]

Hello,

I had similar problems with some NTWS while changing from a NT4.0 Server 
controlled domain to a Samba 2.05a controlled without changing the
domain name.
It worked fine for all machines, only a few other identical  machines
(cloned, but different SIDs) were not able to join the domain. NT seems
to cache/store the actual domain name somewhere.

Workaround: 
use another domain name first, let NTWS join the new domain, 
reboot NT, change the server back to the real domain name, join this
domain with your NTWS, reboot NT, smile.

Think about the different initial password for the first "contact"
between PDC and client (eg NTWS). If you delete the client from the
Samba server, you also have to "reset the account" on the client, eg
joining another domain or changing to another client name and changing
back afterwards.


Cheers

Björn
