can't remove samba server from server manager

[Martin Foerster]

Hi,

I added a Samba Server to a NT Domain, although I added it as "workstation
or server", it was shown as Backup Domain Controller. I did before with a
different one and that didn't happen..!?

Anyway, everything works fine, but some user couldn't successfully log on
the NT domain then.
The samba logs had entries for those machines saying "Workstation
>machinename<$: no account in domain"
It seems to me that they logged on the "Samba Backup domain controller", and
that that one cannot resolve
the machine account. But WINS Server is in smb.conf and it can resolve the
name with nmblookup.

So to prevent further problems, I wanted to remove the server in server
manager, but it doesn't disappear from the list. I tried to force the sync.
without success. It was still in after 24 hours. When I try to remove it
again, there is only a popup message, saying "...is not a member of
domain...will be removed from the list..at next update in approx. 15
minutes."
Next time I do smbpasswd -j domain it is again active in Server manager.

When does the samba server appear as workstation in server manager, and when
as backup domain controller?

any suggestions?

Thanks
Martin
