samba - Jun 2016 - Changing AD domain short name (aka workgroup)

Hi all,

Is it possible to change the workgroup name of an AD hosted by Samba? Is it
sufficient to just change "workgroup = " option on all DC and restart
them?
or is this short name written also inside the DB itself?

Best regards,

mathias

If you provisioned with '--use-rfc2307' then 'ypServ30.ldif'
will have
been loaded, in which case, your AD will be splattered with your 
workgroup name.
