[Samba] RPC Server Unavailable Message

[Asai]

 From what I thought I did, I named the domain avalon.local.  That's 
what the computers will join to.  What does the netbios name have to do 
with the DC?

With folder redirection I end up getting a name like 
\\localhost.avalon.local\Users\blahblah

How much chance of messing up things is there if I run the rename script?
