Hi List,
During a recent power outage my domain controller froze at the bios
screen.
So for all intents and purposes there was no PDC (nor BDC) for the domain.
When I arrived on scene I restored order and rebooted the PDC,most machines were
not affected,however several NT4 systems as well as my Samba Domain member
servers (using
domain security) all needed to be rejoined to the domain,while all XP,Win2K
systems were not affected.
My question is: Is there a way I can prevent these systems from disjoining the
domain?
I am assuming that the NT4 and Samba systems refresh their passwords on an
interval that
was exceeded during the power outage.....and also explains why NT4 machines were
particularly
stubborn when migrating the domain from NT to Samba. (during my testing phase I
had no trouble
but implementation I had a "Vampired" account database and just as
with the loss of domain control
the NT4 machines refused to log in and had to be rejoined to the domain)....
Samba Version 3.0.28 (I know it's very old and I am transitioning to 3.3)
and I want to avoid this
exact situation when I make the change.
Thanks
