[Samba] getting SID on a Samba 2.2.2 domain

[Chuck Theobald]

Hi Jonathan,

If the machine is a domain controller, log onto one of your Windows 
machines that has joined the domain and check the registry under 
HKEY_USERS, there will be entries there that reflect the SID of the domain. 
I used this to discover the SID of a TAS server for which I needed the SID. 
TAS was not cooperative, but my client machines were.

If your old machine is not a domain controller, I think it does not matter 
that the SID changes when going to the new machine, as there is no user 
information dependent upon the SID of the server in this case. Please, if 
this is not correct, someone write a clarification.

Regards,
Chuck
