Actually I am using a single-service VM, but blowing away a VM just because I want to demote/promote feels like overkill. For step 3, since I’m running from source, does that change anything? re: step 4 I plan to edit the existing /usr/local/samba/etc/smb.conf and krb5.conf files, but if you think this is a bad idea then I’ll rebuild them.

I’ve currently got a Samba 4 AD but want to rename it. However, as I understand things, renaming isn’t easy. Happy to rebuild it - home lab, only a few machines affected. However, no topic in the FAQ on how to remove an existing domain: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/FAQ <https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/FAQ> Demoting won’t work since it’s the last remaining server:

Hi, Using VM helps: you can detroy them then re-create them easily. Looks like you are not using them... How I proceed: 1° stop samba 2° rm -rf /var/lib/samba (where private and sysvol directories are) 3° force reinstall of packages, one only is needed to recreate /var/lib/samba and its content (samba-common with my version of Samba). 4° you could also remove /etc/samba/smb.conf and
