You may have to change the NT box's domain credentials as it is storing those it used with the old server. Log into the NT box as admin, dump it into a workgroup, reboot, and then rejoin the machine to the domain it then should renegotiate the machine password with the domain controller and be able to join the domain.

Both the HD and the network card went at the same time :( Anyway, I took the opportunity to upgrade the system to 32 MB of EDO RAM (ransacked from other machines) and install RH 7.2. I had a backup :) of the Samba config file, dropped it in, added all the users back in, copied the data files back, etc. Everything is fine, except for the NT workstation. I added the machine using smbpasswd -a -m, it shows up nicely in the smbpasswd file, just like it should. But, when I try to log on from the NT workstation, it says that the machine is not registered with the PDC. I look in the event log, and it says the same thing. When I run NT diagnostics from the Administrative tools menu, it shows the correct machine as the PDC with the correct domain. I remember this happening to me once before, and I was able to fix it. But, now I can't remember what I did. Anybody had this problem before and remember? I think it has something to do with the new hashes in the smbpasswd file not matching the ones on the workstation, but am not sure...
