I have no trouble joining the domain in our main office(samba PDC) or a branch office(samba BDC) but for some reason I can't join the domain at the branch office 2(also samba BDC) All three offices are running 3.0.11 and the 2 branch offices have identical configurations, aside from ip address'. The message I get from Windows XP is: The following error occured attempting to join the

Hi, Maybe this was asked many time (although can't find it on google). Let's assume 2 scenarios: 1) I've got local network where PDC and BDC are set up. PDC is working fine so the BDC is. When it's possible for any XP client to use BDC instead of PDC? I read in samba docs that if PDC is slow client can use BDC - but what does it mean slow for the client? How the client knows

Dear Help, We are currently running Samba 3.0.22 on a distributed network/domain as a PDC (primary domain controller) and several as BDCs (Backup domain controllers) in our branch offices located around the country. At this point, the PDC is set up in our corporate office (where I'm located) and users have no trouble authenticating (via logging into windows and accessing shares) and also

I have a Samba-LDAP PDC at an office and 5 BDC's at other offices. At corporate HQ I have a W2k Server and domain. I have properly configured an interdomain trust and Users in the Samba domain can get to sections on the W2k machine regardless of location. However, members in the W2K domain can only access shares on the PDC. Attempts to access shares on a BDC cause a user name

Hello, Will BDC work if PDC crashes or there is no connectivity between them? I assume that the servers are storing users / passwords in LDAP database; both BDC and PDC have LDAP running locally (changes in PDC are replicated to BDC). Will users be able to log into the domain / use roaming profiles with no PDC (as it crashed or link was broken), when only BDC is running? Tomek

Hi, We have an old domain with a samba-3 PDC and LDAP backend in our HQ and two BDC in our branch offices. Since we don't use the domain in our HQ anymore and one of the branches will be moved to our new domain (2003/2008) I'm thinking about decomissioning the PDC and promote both BDCs as PDC for their branch offices and networks. I would also get rid of LDAP. Changing the backend to

We're about to start migrating from Windows NT 4.0 to a Samba controlled setup. I've got a question about the functionality of the Samba PDCs and BDCs. In my Windows setup I have three domains that are defined by geographic locations. Each of these domains "trusts" the other. In Samba 2.2.7, I can't have the trusts, so I'm looking at creating one giant domain that

Dear Help, Here is my situation: We have offices located in several areas around the country, all of which can communicate with each other through VPNs we have established. I have set up a Samba domain in which the PDC is located here in our home office, and there are BDCs for the same domain in each of the remote offices. I have been able to successfully join machines here in our home office

I'm in the process of building a Samba PDC for my office, and I have a couple of questions. We have three regional offices connected via VPN. We'd like to have network browsing across all three network, with a single login. I was going to do a Samba machine with an LDAP backend on the same machine. So would it be advisable to have the PDC at the main office and BDC at each of the regional

I am suddenly no longer able to see any existing files on one of my shares, from my Windows clients. I have a Linux server (Fedora Core 8) which used to be my firewall and router as well as file and print server. There are two Samba shares on it I have mounted on various Windows clients: my home directory and a multimedia directory with my music and videos, etc. I mount the former as H: on all my

Hi list, I read the samba doc but i didn't find any answer to my problem, maybe you can help me or just point me where to find the solution. That would be very appreciated. Our company has three offices in different cities plus a head office. All of those office are linked using VPNs. For now, we have a domain at the head office using samba3 as a PDC, a master LDAP server for

Rowland, The *openldap* will be the same that is already working on our campus (technological courses). I have samba3 on a freebsd, but the samba4 I will switch to Debian. I believe that in addition to the *smb.conf*, I have to also copy the following folders: */etc/samba/* */var/lib/samba/* Proceeds?

Is anyone using this? My smb.conf file has this line in server1(master) passwd backend = ldapsam:"ldaps://ldap.server1 ldaps://ldap.server2" and this is what server2(slave ldap, BDC) looks like: passwd backend = ldapsam:"ldaps://ldap.server1 ldap.server2" This is what happens. When I take down server 1's ldap server, server2 just starts using its local ldap server.

Hello, Our company is trying to implement central Windows Domain at HQ and replicated across all its regional offices. The implementation will have a PDC/LDAP-master on HQ and BDC/LDAP-slave on each regional office. In the hopes of saving bandwidth we are trying to avoid the use of WINS between WAN links. Is there any way of not using WINS and still have the clients find the PDC (for updating

I greatly appreciate the answers. Are of great value to me and to others who like me do not have much experience. Another question. :D I believe that we will use debian as distribution for the new Samba4. What I need to copy from the old to the new distro?

I have an NT4 PDC that I would like to replace with a Samba server. My network also has a box running MS Exchange and Backoffice (not the same box as the PDC). What's the general roadmap for doing this? Could I install Samba as a BDC and then promote it. Should I create a new domain on Samba and do a big cutover? Or is there a way to just get the necessary info off the PDC and then

Hi, (this will be a long post) currently we got a working setup of one PDC in our HQ and five BDC in our branch offices, all backed by LDAP. PDC is LDAP master and all branch offices are configured as syncrepl. This setup was more a playfield for me, which 'suddenly' went into production by business needs, you know the deal... The setup does a fine job, but there is no failover of any

Hi folks, I've been tasked with a migration of our servers and, as the subject implies, part of it involves a PDC and BDC that were set up before my time. However, I'm trying to accomplish a little bit more to give myself, the sysadmin, a little bit more automation capability: · Migrate the PDC and BDC both to new servers (part of this I've already done with copying
