[Samba] Changed name of domain - accounts have old name

I'm using samba 3.0.11 on Suse 9.2.  smb.conf is at the end of this
post.

I created a samba pdc with domain name, "gamidom".  This I subsequently
changed to "phoenix" (the same as the server's netbios name).  Tried to
add a win2k machine to the domain and got an error regarding the
domain/server name being the same so I changed the name of the domain in
smb.conf to "adadom", restarted smbd/nmbd joined the win2k machine to a
workgroup, rebooted and joined it to the "adadom" domain.

All went fine, apart from when I look at the Windows 2000 system
properties under the User Profiles tab it shows the old domain account
name:

GAMIDOM\username

Instead of ADADOM\username

I've restarted smbd/nmbd and rebooted the server but it still creates
the user accounts in that way.  The Windows machine has a fresh copy of
Windows 2000 Pro installed this morning.

I thought it might be something to do with the defaultuser account but I
don't know where to start looking.  Any help would be very much
appreciated.

Thank you

Paul
