Re: [TCLUG:17072] Rebuttal

[<Nick.T.Reinking@supervalu.com>]

I don't know a whole lot here, actually.

But if I want to change workgroups from SIGFS to TCLUG,
or I want to leave the SIGFS workgroup, and join a domain
(.sigfs.org), I have to authenticate to a PDC (I think?), and so
it does weird and funky things.  Again, I'm not an NT expert,
especially on server issues.  (this is like changing the hostname -
which I think you have to reboot to do in Linux.  Maybe not?)

And yes, you don't need to reboot to change IP addresses.
In fact, many things in Windows said they needed a reboot,
but really didn't.

Some good examples are removing/adding SCSI devices
devices (use the refresh command in the hardware device
manager), and changing DNS servers (just say you don't
want to reboot, and everything works just fine).

        ok, I have absolutely zero knowlege about NT domains; but isn't that
some sort of authorization or routing issue? why does it need to reboot?
(I'm just being honestly curious here).

        what about changing IP addys? have they finally fixed that so you
don't have to reinstall a bunch of files and reboot in order to do that?
(that is one of the most annoying things I've seen Windows do).
