Topic: Samba after upgrade...

[IS]

Hello,

I'm using a SME 5.6 with win98, win2000 and winXP workstations.
Of course, I applied the registry patch for WinXP workstations.
Since I applied the SME upgrade with new Samba packages, I have some problems:

 - I cannot logon in a WinXP workstation with a new user : WinXP says he cannot confirm the user with the domain (or something like that..) but this new user works with Win98 stations. And I still can logon in WinXP station with the user who worked in this station before the upgrade.

 - Since this upgrade I cannot share a directory from a workstation with other workstations. But to fix this between two Win2000, I had to re-add both systems in the domain. But after that, win2000 created a new user like "user.DOMAIN" in the "Documents and Settings" directory. I had to copy all data from the other "user" (who worked before the upgrade).

I guess that's a SID problem (maybe with the secrets.tdb from SME server).
Did you have the same problem?
How can I fix this without re-add all NT workstations in the domain?

Thanks a lot for your help.

what Samba updates did u apply? Was this an upgrade to Samba 3?

No, I applied the samba-2.2.8a-1es1 packages.

We had similar probs after every change/upgrade of samba (working as PDC) or WIN NT4.

The "old" Windoze SIDs on Server are then no longer compatible with the "new" clients.

There is a tool from MS for about 195 $, by which you can erase old SIDs on an NT-Server, but that wont be it.

You better do it by hand

At least thats what i did; org you can wait 30 days, so that the SIDs will expire.

I know this does not help [ARGHHH] - but that is MS.

How do you do this by hand?

Did you run
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event post-upgrade
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event reboot

I tried to do this today but I still cannot logon with a new user.
