Hi,

I currently have 2 Samba Servers on a Network. One is PDC, the other one
is Domain Member Server.

Now I have to switch the roles of the 2 servers without changing their
names.

I tried to switch configs, smbpasswd and secrets.tdb, I deleted
browse.dat and wins.dat, but still the clients try to authenticate
against the old server. I even removed one of them from the domain and
inserted it back again, but while joining, it sill connects to the old one.

I now got my Network running again by making the old server a backup
domain controller, but I will have to remove it in the near future. Is
there any way to get the clients to connect to the new server?

Regards,
Thomas
