NetBios name change

[bogdan_bartos]

Hi all,

I have this config in smb.conf for samba 4:

[global]
        workgroup = BPDNET
        realm = AD.DOMAIN.LOCAL
        netbios name = AD
        server role = active directory domain controller
        dns forwarder = 10.0.0.1

When I access the shares on the domain controller, I have to type \\ad and i
see them, but I do not like the "ad" naming convention. Can the netbios name
be changed to something else without affecting the realm? Let's say...:

[global]
        workgroup = BPDNET
        realm = AD.DOMAIN.LOCAL
        netbios name = FILESERVER
        server role = active directory domain controller
        dns forwarder = 10.0.0.1

What other changes in other files should I do in order to make this happen?
If this is possible, maybe the provisioning script should also accept a
netbios parameter. Just a sugestion. Let me know.

Thanks.
