-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Assuming they exist, could someone point me to any resources that could assist me in renaming a Samba PDC's hostname and the domain it serves remotely *without* forcing the client workstations to have to manually-rejoin?

Or could I rename the domain by manually changing the name but retaining the SID?

This is good news!
