Maintenance Commands setdomainname(1m)
NAME
setdomainname - changes the name of a PC NetLink server's
domain
SYNOPSIS
setdomainname [ -I instance ]
setdomainname [ -I instance ] -n new-domain-name [ -s ]
setdomainname [ -I instance ] -d primary-name [-a admin] [-p pass_
word] [ -s ]
DESCRIPTION
The setdomainname command is used to change the name of a PC
NetLink domain. Domain controllers can use this command to
change the name of their own domain. Member servers can use
this command to join an existing domain without re-building
their local account databases. It is an interactive command
but also accepts command line arguments.
If an error occurs during processing or if you interrupt
this command, it will restore the original domain name. You
should run this command on the primary domain controller
first, and then on any backup domain controllers and member
servers. This command must be run on every server within a
domain. Otherwise, domain-wide services will not work
correctly.
You must be logged in as root to run this command.
OPTIONS
-I instance
Specifies the PCNL instance name or number. In a multi-
instance environment instance may be specified either on the
command line or by the environment variable PCNL_INSTANCE.
If there is only one instance configured, it is not neces-
sary to specify this argument.
-n new-domain-name
Represents the new name of the domain.
-d primary-name
(for a member server) name of the primary domain controller
in the new domain.
-a admin
(for a member server) administrative account at primary
domain controller.
-p password
(for a member server) password of the administrative account
at primary domain controller.
-s
Prevents the server from starting automatically.
