Well, I am getting ready to take the other server offline and put the new
one in place.  I am planning on just removing all my machines from the
domain and adding them back in to get everything to work, though I would
prefer not to do this.

I am just not sure where else to look.  Thought I would post one last
time.  I figure that most of this comes from me not knowing a lot about
ldap and how samba interacts with it.  I am still learning.

The passwords on the new server are different than the old.  Does that
have any affect on it?  Do the passwords have to be the same when it comes
to the new machine being added in?  I did not think that would matter, but
maybe it does.  If it does then that would mean taht the XP machines
somehow saved the password that was used when the machine joined the
domain.

Thanks for any info.  I'll play with this some tonight, but if I don't
figure it out, I'll just do as I planned and remove all mahcines from the
domain and add them back in.
