http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2005-October/113181.html This sounds exactly like what I'm experiencing... for the second time. I'm starting to think it happens whenever the AD folks create a new domain in the forest. (we just added our asia pacific region a couple days ago) Did you ever figure out what's happening? How did you resolve the issue? I remember last time I had to stop the services, delete a lot of tdb files and rejoin the domain. There's got to be a better way, and hopefully a way to avoid the pains in the first place.
