samba - Aug 2024 - Domain rename

Hello everybody!

I know this has been asked multiple times but I haven't found an answer yet
so here I go again. I manage a domain, not too large but large enough to make it
a complex task to recreate an entire domain and rejoin every computer, and the
domain was created long ago without an ad subdomain so, is there any way to
recreate an entire domain renaming the domain part of everything but preserving
all the ID's and users and passwords?

Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Dave.

Not in a supported way, you can backup your domain using samba-tool and
rename that, but it isn't supported for long term use i.e. in
production.

Hi,
I have used this tool for exactly this case.....
BUT this tool is NOT enough on its own.
There is all sorts of other crap, that MS  patches have added to the Microsoft
tools , that need to be used to manage the database.
Weve been using the result for over a year now , with no problems.

I did it once,  but I'd rather wake up and find  my head sewn to the
carpet.. than do it again.

There are other tools available on the market, but they require licences &
support, plus they don't like to support non MS setups
