Windows remembers this comment field regardless of what the server is actually called now, at least in certain versions. If you do a registry search for that string on the workstation you will find a section that lists the comment. Also, try looking in your nethood directory, one of these two locations will have it. You simply clear out references to the old long name. I used to have this myself where a previous admin had called our server 'Samba Mania' and I couldn't clear it until I brought in a new machine that had never known about 'Samba Mania' and they referred to the machine as the proper name. I went looking and dug up the location that had it. Sorry I can't be exact, those machines have all been long gone so I can't tell you exactly where it is. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
