I have samba PDC configured.

I am unable to change the computer name for any computer . All clients 
are windows XP pro .

It says access denied. Although i use the same Administrator username 
and password which i used to join these computers to samba domain. I 
will really appreciate if some can help me in this .
thanks & regards
