How to change samba user SID?












1















I'm trying to change the SID of various user in Samba 4.1.14 using pdbedit



pdbedit --user <username> SID=<SID>


I run the command but no message is displayed nor the SID is changed.



How can I modify users' SID in Samba 4.1.14?

  • Two users with the same SID? Are you using only one server? My problem, which I left aside for undetermined time, is that I want to change my domain name but avoid creating "new users" on each machine when the users login using the new domain. For example perry.platypus has a SID S-1-5-21-2447931902-1787058256-3961074038-5004 on the old domain but on the new domain he has S-1-5-21-2447931902-1787058256-4461074038-2222, when he logs in in the new domain Windows will create a new user folder perry.platypus.NEWDOMAIN. That's a huge problema for me.

  • I recommend you start using compiled version of samba to keep it updated.

  • I've tested with 4.1.14, 4.1.21, 4.2.1 e 4.3.1 and is not working. They should have removed it since it doesn't work in any version.

    it seams that in your case you'll have to choose one user to exclude from the domain and recreate the user. There was, I think it was removed from Sysinternals, a tool called NewSID or something like that. I think you can still find it. NewSID can change the local Windows user SID avoding having to copy all the user's data to the new one.
