[Samba] Renaming a computer on the domain
How come I have to disconnect from the domain, rename the computer, reboot, join the domain and then reboot again. I have always had to do this and just thought it was a domain thing, but talking with some others that run Windows servers, they do not have to do this. They just change the computer name. BTW, just wanted to say thanks to Mr. Terpstra and everyone else that helped while getting my new server going. Right now it is running smoothly and I appreciate all of the input that I received. -- Scott Mayo - System Administrator Bloomfield Schools PH: 573-568-5669 FA: 573-568-4565 Question: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. Answer: Why is putting a reply at the top of the message frowned upon?
