[Samba] Rename computer, but still shows up as old name

[Frank Rauer]

Hi,

I´m running into the same problem, found a nice script for renaming computer 
names
but in RSAT the shown name is still the old...only in the properties you can 
see the new one.
Is anybody working on this problem ?...would be nice

Cheers

Frank
