| 121300 | 2003-02-14 21:33:00 | I have set up a master XP Pro machine for a school, which logs in no problem to their Linux file server, using Samba. I ghosted 10 identical PCs, each of them login OK after ghosting. I renamed each ghosted PC with a unique computer name, by leaving the domain and joing a workgroup and restarting the PC. The computer name changes OK. When I try to rejoin the samba domain (called "WORKGROUP"), and enter the same userid/pw as used originally, I get an "access is denied" message. Is there any other way of renaming the PCs without leaving the domain? |

| 121301 | 2003-02-15 01:12:00 | Try restarting the Samba server. You might have confused it ;-) | Graham L (2) | ||
| 121302 | 2003-02-15 05:57:00 | OK - I will try this tomorrow, but restarting the file server every time I add a new machine is not the most elegant solution.... | tombarnfield (2475) | ||
| 121303 | 2003-02-15 06:54:00 | All Graham was meaning was to stop Samba and then restart it. There is no need to reboot the PC. Something along the lines of /sbin/init.d/smb stop /sbin/init.d/nmb stop /sbin/init.d/smb restart /sbin/init.d/nmb restart |

| 121304 | 2003-02-16 01:28:00 | My suggestion was based on the idea (right or wrong, ;-)) that the server had recognised the clients as being present. You then changed the clients. Restarting the Samba server might help as a one-off. I agree, you don't want to reboot or even restart the Samba server. You should not need to do it as a regular thing. But security things can get tricky. I suspect it's XP: W9x and W3.xx don't have security problems; they don't have security. |

| 121305 | 2003-02-17 06:49:00 | I have restarted the server, with no change. I have generated a new SID, with no change I have changed the computer back to the original name, and it will join the domain, if I change the name to something else again, it will not join the domain. |

| 121306 | 2003-02-17 10:28:00 | The name or details you were changing it to were allowed on the domain? | Captive (3159) | ||
| 121307 | 2003-02-17 19:20:00 | I am not sure what you mean by"allowed name or details" - the name which allows it to join the domain is "rnls1", the name which will not is "rnls2". I am not changing any other items before attempting to rejoin the domain - only the name. | tombarnfield (2475) | ||
