[Samba] renaming a domain and keeping everything else the same
We have samba 3.0.21c + openldap working ok. Some weeks ago I got this answer (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=samba&m=113164752004902&w=2) to my question about whether it's better to have one or multiple windows domains, in favor of having only one domain. Now, we're gonna put into production a NAS box (one Windows Storage Server) for our main domain and for our whole institution! According to what I saw, it's seems that to work with only one unique domain is inevitable (500 users). So we would like to rename our MAIN domain (type Windows NT domain) to the name of our institution. Please, what is the proper (safer) way of doing this? I think I understand that I must: to do the domain name change and to restore the samba domain SID generated because of the name change (is it ok?), but I would like to know about similar experiences, and any advise/warning.
