samba - Feb 2005 - Changing domains, both server- and client-side.

My company recently changed its name, and now I've been asked to change 
our domain's name, too.  Is there any way I can accomplish this without 
having to have each PC join a new domain, with all the problems inherent 
in something like that?  Registry edits, etc., would be fine, but I 
really dread having to mess with all the profiles that are going to get 
messed up...

Thanks!

I wouldn't mind being updated on this either, just having fscked up a
Samba 3.0.11 domain by (my own script ;) having Samba smbpasswd re-define
all machines in the domain.

The young fellow who had to stay until 20:00 hours updating the 75 odd
workstations on the evening it was necessary, was not grateful.

Needless to say, it will never happen again. However, an antidote would be
very welcome.
