Topic: Dns domain change

[smnirosh]

No host name and ipaddress on server manager web page for this client.

What is ur second question is not clear to me pls.

[Stefano]

windows' machine accounts (the entries that bind clients to windows' trusted domain) are stored into /etc/samba/smbpasswd, in the form of

Code: [Select]

machinename$:5061:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:0EBD3FEBDB972B9D9A164B72F321E341:[W          ]:LCT-52809C7D:

the first time you join a client to the domain such an entry is created

[smnirosh]

Yes there is an entry with the name of my problem client. Im gonna delete this entry and and rejoin to domain. Let u update.

[Stefano]

how are you gonna doing it?

tell us BEFORE you do it

[smnirosh]

Login to sme server and delete the above mentioned line from smbpasswd

[smnirosh]

I mean edit the file manually

[Stefano]

no, this is not the way to act..

changing perspective, since you've to rejoin the client, you'r best bet is to rename the client itself and join it again..

anyway:
google is your friend "delete a machine account from smbpasswd"

something like

Code: [Select]

smbpasswd -xm machinename$

should do the trick, but I din't tested it

before doing anything: do you have a good and working backup of that server?

[smnirosh]

I already tried with changing machine name and mac address. But no good thing happened

[Stefano]

did you try BEFORE un-joining it from domain?
to do so, client must not be joined

moreover, don't poke with mac addresses

[smnirosh]

Login off from domain. But network cable connected to the server

[Stefano]

Login off from domain. But network cable connected to the server

login here makes no sense.. do you mean client not joined?
connected cable is irrelevant

[smnirosh]

Yes of cause

[smnirosh]

May i try with a deleting the machine account using the command u sent abouve.
Thhen do i have to create a machine acount?

[Stefano]

Delete it and try to rejoin
Be sure SME is the dns server for the client

[smnirosh]

Thanks. Do i have to create manually by any command or it created automatically
