Hi everybody.
I have an AD domain which is set up incorrectly (it was migrated from an NT 4
domain which was running samba 3.2 with an openldap backend). Even though this
setup hasn't brought any problems yet I would very much like to fix this to
prevent any future problems. The AD domain is setup as follows (data has been
obscured for privacy reasons)
DNS domain: example.com
Realm: EXAMPLE.COM
NETBIOS domain: EXAMPLE
Network: 192.168.0.0/24
Site: Default-First-Site-Name
AD DC hostname: dc1
DC IP Address: 192.168.0.2
I would very much like to be able to rename the domain (DNS domain, Realm, and
Site), as per the documentation, without having to rejoin every single computer
to a new DC and create every single user and group and having to touch all the
permissions of the files on the fileservers and configuring every single user
profile again. The intended result would be to have a domain set up as follows
DNS domain: samdom.example.com
Realm: SAMDOM.EXAMPLE.COM
NETBIOS domain: EXAMPLE (unchanged)
Network: I'm willing to move to another network if necessary
Site: Samdom (but I can live without changing this)
AD DC hostname: I'm willing to put another DC in place of the offending one
DC IP Address: I'm willing to move to another network if necessary
Is there a strategy that I'm not finding in any documentation? I've been
considering using the samba-tool domain backup rename command but all the
documentation says that it is not intended for production use so, are there any
other tools to accomplish this task?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Dave.
