My apologies (again!) for asking about this old, venerable release.

The client is upgrading to 4.10 or 4.11 in early December.

 

The AIX server was joined to a functional Windows 2000 domain in 2015.

The AD server has since been upgraded to functional Windows Server 2003
sometime since.

 

They have 2 AD servers - primary is Joe, secondary is Jane.

Joe has encountered severe Registry issues and needs to be taken offline.

 

The /etc/resolv.conf and smb.conf were updated to point to Jane; inetd was
refreshed.

The AIX server will no longer allow Samba share access.

Change everything back to Joe, we're good to go again.

 

While everything is set for Joe:

net ads leave -U administrator%password says ads is not built in.

net rfc leave -U administrator%password says leave is unknown.

 

If we were to delete the member from AD, we can't join it (as ads isn't
built in this version).

 

I think this pushes them into advancing the timetable on their Samba
upgrade.

 

Is there anything else to be tried if they can't push up the schedule?
