Hello, yesterday we re-installed a file server running samba, among other things. All of /etc was backed up, including MACHINE.SID and secrets.tld. However no matter what we did the Win2K clients just would not 'get' that it's the same server! As a result it goes nuts trying to use the profile. We are not working on manually re-initializing everyone's profile and selectively copying stuff over. What could we be missing it not machine.sid/secrets.tld? This is samba 2.2.4.
