[Samba] How can I change the localSID for a SAMBA Server?

[Byron Bogaert]

I am trying to change the localSID for a SAMBA server, however I am unable
to. I have tried the command "net setlocalsid" to no avail. To troubleshoot
I have also stopped the smbd and nmbd services, but this did not help. Any
help would be great!
