[Samba] Preference of local or domain profile

[Aaron Kincer]

I'm not certain I get what you are saying, but I'll give it a stab.

If your user has a laptop (for example) and the password is changed 
while their PC is not connected, then in order to receive the new domain 
certificate credentials, the user must login to the network. If they 
merely plug it in and recover from hibernation, the credentials will not 
be updated.

In other words, either logout and then back in after connecting to the 
network or reboot. Domain credentials cannot be updated if there is a 
password mismatch form the cached information versus the credentials 
stored in AD.

Does that answer your question?
