We have an XP workstation joined to our Samba PDC. Will there be any issues if we reinstall XP on the workstation and join it to the domain with the same computer name that it originally had? Is there any need to delete the original entry from Samba's database of domain workstations? (Samba 3.0.14, Debian Sarge)
