[Tim Holmes] Ok -- one other slight problem -- it seems that I have some sort of a rogue record in my ADS Tree or something. For whatever reason, I cannot join my server as srvweb-01, so as a simple solution, I changed the host name on the server to srvweb-02. I changed it in the system-config-network applet, in the hosts file, and checked the krb5.conf and smb.conf files to make sure it was not referenced in there anywhere. Then I restarted the machine, so all the new settings were applied, also changed the DNS and reloaded the zone, This machine has a static address, so DHCP should be a non issue But when I try to join the domain, it still fails -- the routine worked perfectly on my test server, it joined perfectly on the first try. I suspect that the old host name (srvweb-01) is registered someplace that I don't know about, but I cannot seem to find it -- any suggestions where I should be looking? Thanks Timothy A.
