Upgrade to SME 5.5 and lost my domain
« on: October 15, 2002, 05:16:18 PM »
Hello all.  I recently upgraded to SME 5.5 from 5.0.  I am using the the SME server as a primary domain controller in a small network.  I was able to log into the domain and see the SME server within the domain before the upgrade.  Now I can't log into the domain and the server is not present.  When I try to add a machine to the domain I get an error that states that the domain is not present.  The samba shares are still there.  The links I had in my network places still work so samba is running and doing something.  The web interface also shows the server is set up as a domain controller.  But it is not doing anything beyond providing shares.  I also noticed that I cannot connect to the blades server.  I get an error when checking available blades.  The message says I could not receive data from the blades server.  All this was working before the upgrade.  I figure if I did a fresh install it would take care of the problem but I want to do that as a last resort.

Thanks for any help.
