Hi Klaus, I haven't used that tool for at least 13 years but I do recall that, among other things, it read from the registry. Coupled with the fact that Samba 4 AD is not a complete implementation of AD I can't imagine that it could possibly work. More to the point, I'd be seriously concerned about the results. This is not something I'm prepared to test in a production environment and a test environment may not reveal all the problems, at least not within the time frame I need to deal with. regards, John On 25/08/16 19:49, Klaus Hartnegg via samba wrote:> On 24.08.2016 at 05:40 John Gardeniers via samba wrote: >> As a result of a company restructure and name change we need to change >> our AD domain.

What about creating a secondary samba domain that trusts the first? Can samba trust another samba?

Hi David, Yes, you can set up trusts in Samba 4 but that won't help me, as we will be eliminating the original domain once we've switched over. regards, John On 29/08/16 14:32, David Bear via samba wrote:> What about creating a secondary samba domain that trusts the first?
