Hi all
I'm faced with the task to rename (it's fqdn and it's netbios
name)
a samba server runing on Linux that acts as a PDC for a domain that has
it's information in an LDAP backend and I was wondering, if anyone
knows, what complications could I expect from this, for example,
regarding the SID of the domain users and their roaming profiles.
Any input will be greatly appreciated.
Best regards, David Wells.

I don't remember all the issues. Changing the name of the server is likely to change the machine's sid. You could take a look at the net setlocalsid command to reset the new sid back to the one that exists in your ldap database. Take a look at the Samba How To. Chapter 13 has a section "Managing Security Identifiers (SIDS)" Another option is to modify the ldap database and replace the old sid with the new one. I would try the net setlocalsid command first. This may cause some issues with the roaming profiles. I would recommend setting up a test domain and testing these options properly before making changes to your production domain.
