How to rename am samba domain member server

[Conrad Lawes]

You can rename a  Linux domain member as follows:

First, remove it from the domain

#net ads leave -U administrator at MYDOMAIN.COM

Next,  change the netbios name value  in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file, e.g.

netbios name = <NEW NAME>

Restart the samba and winbind daemons

# /etc/init.d/smb restart && /etc/init.d/winbind restart

Finally,  you rejoin it   to the domain

#net ads join -U administrator at MYDOMAIN.COM

Make sure everything OK.

#net ads testjoin
#getent passwd
#getent group

Check  winbind

# wbinfo -t
# wbinfo  -u
