I am running Samba4 version 4.2.12 as our office AD/DC. Two questions on domain member computers: 1) When I un-join a Windows 7 workstation from the domain (Start > Computer > Properties > Advanced > Computer Name > Change > Member of: Workgroup), it does not remove that computer from the list of domain computer. I have to either use samba-tool or (Windows)RAS Users and Computers. It this normal? A bug? If the latter, is it fixed in a more current release of Samba? 2) If I have a dual-boot (Windows/Ubuntu) computer and I want to be a domain member booted either way, do I need different computer names for each boot mode? THX --Mark
