I relatively recently implemented Samba 3.026a (Solaris PDC) I then
moved the PDC role to another machine. On the new pdc I 1st grabbed
the domain SID
newpdc# net rpc getsid -S oldpdc
Storing SID ------------------for Domain MYDOMAIN in secrets.tdb
newpdc#
and then updated the smb.conf file on each machine to convert the PDC
to member server and vice versa.
If I ran the "net getlocalsid" command on the old PDC prior to the
migration, it would return the SID for the domain.
oldpdc # net getlocalsid MYDOMAIN
SID for domain MYDOMAIN is: S-1----------------------99
oldpdc#
If I run "get getlocalsid" on the new PDC I get
newpdc# net getlocalsid
[2007/11/01 14:52:55, 0] utils/net.c:net_getlocalsid(622)
Can't fetch domain SID for name: NEWPDC
newpdc #
However explicity specifying the domain name seems OK
newpdc# net getlocalsid MYDOMAIN
SID for domain MYDOMAIN is: S-1----------------------99
As far as I can tell everything is working OK. But did I mis a step
in the change over?
Thanks
