Hallo,
I've setup a BDC in the same subnet like my PDC. I observed that some 
User take the BDC to logon.
The Domain-Join of some PCs will also done at the BDC.
Is this behavior normal and wanted? If done so, I have to rsync the 
profiles or only netlogon?
Best regards
Matthias
PDC:
[global]
        netbios name = PDC
        workgroup = MyDOMAIN
        server string = DC (PDC) (%v)
        security = user
        domain master = yes
        time server = yes
        domain logons = yes
        encrypt passwords = yes
        wins support = yes
        local master = yes
        prefered master = yes
        os level = 64
        enable privileges = yes
BDC:
[global]
        netbios name = BDC
        workgroup = MyDOMAIN
        server string = DC Backup (%v)
        security = user
        domain master = no
        time server = yes
        domain logons = yes
        wins support = no
        wins server = PDC
        encrypt passwords = yes
        local master = yes
        os level = 62

If done so, I have to rsync theIt's the client that chooses which xDC it will use any given time. So yes, it can be either the BDCs or the PDC.> profiles or only netlogon?[netlogon] is a must to keep in sync.
> [netlogon] is a must to keep in sync.You might also define where the profiles are to come from more specifically, rather than \\%L\%U maybe you want to say \\staticservername\%U or define each user as living on a particular server in their account details, assuming you use tdb or ldap.
Iwas told by Windows guru, that it can be done by 1) specifying profiles at DFS 2) making DFS available as mirror> >> [netlogon] is a must to keep in sync. > > You might also define where the profiles are to come from more specifically, > rather than \\%L\%U maybe you want to say \\staticservername\%U or define > each user as living on a particular server in their account details, > assuming you use tdb or ldap. > > -- > To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the > instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba >
