Hi,  the solution was corrected. The CIFS server name should be the same.  Thanks for catching this.  Gustavo Barreto.
Dear all, Please spare your valuable time to answer the following questions: a) I need to move a production CIFS server to another domain. How do i go about it?. I tried to do this via GUI: unjoined cifs server from domain and attempted to join it to new domain, but the domain field was grayed out and it wouldnt let me mention new domain.  CLI didnt help either.  b) I have read the emc200111 which asks to delete the CIFS server and recreate it in new domain. Is this the only way? If not, please suggest different way.  c) Will deleting the cifs server and recreating it in new domain maintain all the local groups and shares?.  d) If answer to question 'c' is "yes" then, if i delete the cifs server and recreate using the same name, will all the local groups and shares automatically get associated with it?.  e) Please outline the steps needed to join a CIFS server to a different domain so that all local groups and shares are unaffected.  f) If i rename a production CIFS server, will all the local groups and shares work the same.? (I assume that after the rename, old server name will not work and the following should work:  \\newservername\oldsharename).  Thanks a ton
