The IT department is phasing in new Active Directory servers, during work ours, and I need to get all my systems using winbind for authentication to switch to the new servers, and hopefully without a reboot.
I tried to redirect a machine currently authenticating via the current AD to the new AD, but even after restarting all the winbind, smbd, nmbd processes, I see it still pointing to the old AD. After rebooting, it points to the new server. Trying to fool samba by adding a line to /etc/hosts didn't work either. Is there a slick non-reboot method? -----BEFORE CHANGE---- krb5.conf contains: [realms] MY.DOMAIN.COM = { kdc = 192.168.0.1 admin_server = 192.168.0.1 default_domain = my.domain.com } smb.conf contains: security = ADS password server = ad1.my.domain.com ----AFTER CHANGE---- [realms] MY.DOMAIN.COM = { kdc = 192.168.0.2 admin_server = 192.168.0.2 default_domain = my.domain.com } smb.conf contains: security = ADS password server = ad2.my.domain.com The way I know the system is pointing to the old ad server is by doing wbinfo -g followed by lsof -i tcp -nP |grep winbind -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
