[Samba] Renaming a computer on the domain

[sgmayo at mail.bloomfield.k12.mo.us]

How come I have to disconnect from the domain, rename the computer,
reboot, join the domain and then reboot again.

I have always had to do this and just thought it was a domain thing, but
talking with some others that run Windows servers, they do not have to do
this.  They just change the computer name.

BTW, just wanted to say thanks to Mr. Terpstra and everyone else that
helped while getting my new server going.  Right now it is running
smoothly and I appreciate all of the input that I received.
