I was wondering if anybody else had experienced machine accounts having the W flag swapped for a U ever ? Possibly by people coming out of the domain and back again? (stab in dark) due to us using a cloned disk setup ? we use a flat file smbpasswd and once every week or so a machine that had the correct flags will change, I don't think it happens every time.
