samba - Mar 2015 - Recommended stations on a server and slave domain controller

Hello Marc,

Sorry for the confusion, AD is the current solution installed and used.

The goal we want to achieve is to install a configuration for a lot of
users (about 100 000) with one master domain.
So we thought that it may be possible to have a principal domain and
several slave domains.

If this configuration can't be considered, we want to know if it's a
feature that we could contribute.

And sorry again for not being clear enough at first, I appreciate your
help.

Thank you.

What is a "slave domain"? AD has sub-domains and trusts. Both Samba 
currently doesn't support.

However you can have multiple DCs, e. g. on each site in one domain, of 
course.

Hello Marc,

Thank you for your answer.

About multiple DCs in one domain, Do you have any documentation or a 
link that could explain us how to make this type of architecture ?

As I told you, the final aim is to have more than 100 000 users in one 
domain, is this a mistake to use a single master DC ?

If we can't do this, is there a special feature to develop to make this 
infrastructure work?
LINAGORA can support this development (a part or the totality of it, 
with the agreement of the community) if necessary.
