similar to: PDC from 2 to 3, SID headaches

Hello I have a client who historical had a machinename with an underscore in it : samba_machine I had to get rid of the underscore names and changed the name to samba-machine. At the same time I upgraded to samba-3.0.11 to get a printer queue problem resolved. Now it seems the Domain SID has changed, so I changed the new SID back to the old one with net setlocalsid, because on all machines I had

I am trying to migrate from a Samba 2.2.7 PDC to Samba 3, and I need the old domain SID. 2.2.7 doe not have the net tools, so net getlocalsid will not work, the 2.2.7 version of smbpasswd does not have the -X option (which www.richardsharpe.com talked about) and tdbdump dumps the SID in HEX, but I don't think I can use that (and I have been unsuccessful in converting to ASCII)... Is there any

hi, i'm trying to migrate my samba 2.2.8a pdc to 3.0.12 pdc. I'm using ldap and i have already migrated all the data. Also i have executed convertSambaAccount for the new schema. My problem is that I cannot set the old SID (samba 2.2.8) to the new samba 3.0.12 for that the clients can authentificate to pdc server. samba2.2.8> smbpasswd -S LDAP Successfully set domain SID to

I am trying to change the localSID for a SAMBA server, however I am unable to. I have tried the command "net setlocalsid" to no avail. To troubleshoot I have also stopped the smbd and nmbd services, but this did not help. Any help would be great! root at TheWiggle:~# net getlocalsid SID for domain THEWIGGLE is: S-1-5-21-748580849-194208185-3916830000 root at TheWiggle:~# net

I have a domain with Samba 3 acting as PDC, and using LDAP (passdb backend = ldapsam). I now wanted to add a second Samba 3 machine as a simple file server. I get errors with getdomainsid and getlocalsid, so there is obviously still something wrong with my config. The PDC runs Samba 3.5.6 on Debian Squeeze. Sid queries return: # net getdomainsid SID for local machine MY_PDC_HOST is:

Hello guys, as subject says, i've got problem with it. And because i'm in preparation of migration of users form Samba PDC with passdb.tdb backend ot LDAP backend, i need to be 100% clear on it. I can't find the reference to it anywhere, so if anyone can point me in the right way ..? What is confusing for me? I'll explain on example: 1. Scenario: Existing Samba PDC server

What's wrong with WARLOCK? Just kidding. If you don't like it, change it, but do expect problems. It's not something you will find a recipee for in a How-to book. The SETLOCALSID changes only the LOCAL SID, not the GLOBAL SID, for which we would probably need SETGLOBALSID. When I faced the same problem, I did something really wrong but it worked. I copy-pasted the LOCAL SID to the

So, I followed these directions and got errors in log.nmbd regarding "domain_master_node_status_fail". There were still entries for the old server's ip address in connections.tdb, gencache.tdb, locking.tdb and sessionid.tdb, so I stopped samba, deleted them and restarted. All was well. I then changed the SID using "net setlocalsid

Hi, For reasons best known to the IT admin before myself, we currently have a domain name of WARLOCK. I want to change this. We have about 15 WinXP Pro client machines on the domain as well as a few linux domain clients. A bit of reading shows that it should be as simple as doing a net getlocalsid, making the change, followed by a net setlocalsid. I started doing this when I noticed something

Hello, I recently noticed a problem on our PDC (samba 3.0.32 on SLES 10 SP2) which I kind of know how to solve after web research but I am unclear about the possible consequences for our domain and clients. The situation is this: Originally samba was set up on this machine to test. Back then its hostname was infrahostnew, so there is a SID for that NETBIOS name in secrets.tdb. When the PDC went

Hi all, I need help to clear a bit of confusion regarding SIDs on Samba servers. I had my PDC collapse on Thursday which wasn't too much of a problem as I had everything backed up but I'm now in the position that I have a mismatched Domain SID. If I run net getlocalsid I get the sid for the server (called smb0) and net get local sid <domain> returns the sid for the Domain. I

Hi, I'm a tad confused about something. I've got a production instance of Samba running. I am trying to get a test version running on the same box, with the same SID. Without the test server running, I used "net setlocalSID <oldsid>" (the net binary is the one for the new server). Then when I issued 'net getlocalsid' it returned it. I thought I was fine.

I have two samba dc's, same subnet, the goal is to have them both be able to answer domain login requests and therefore if one goes down we still have the ability to login to the domain. Can this be done with samba? if so could you just tell me generally the procedure for this? heres what I have right now. server1, openldap master, samba points to loopback for ldap server2, openldap replica,

Hi, How can I remove the "domain PHOENIX" SID from the PDC? It was a test domain I had set up before this machine went live around 18 months ago. I believe this is the issue that's causing me to have problems migrating this PDC to a new machine. This is the output from the current PDC: phoenix:/ # net getlocalsid SID for domain PHOENIX is: S-1-5-21-3597458131-155160113-1223051555

Is there a way to change SAMBA Domain SID? My SAMBA PDC Server hard drive crashed. I have created a new install with new Samba PDC Server. I know my old Domain SID. Is there a way to change the New Domain SID to original SID? I have read losts of thread here. I have tried "net setlocalsid SID" command on the SAMBA PDC Server. But, that did not change the Domain SID. I have

hi list&john, i read in the documention about BDCs: The domain SID has to be the same on the PDC and the BDC. In Samba versions pre-2.2.5, the domain SID was stored in the file |private/MACHINE.SID|. For all versions of Samba released since 2.2.5 the domain SID is stored in the file |private/secrets.tdb|. This file is unique to each server and cannot be copied from a PDC to a BDC; the BDC
