We are using Samba for shares and Winbind for Active Directory authentication, and are down to a few problems. If the AD goes down or reboots, Winbind loses its connection. In the winbind log, it reports: Could not open a connection to TEST1 for \PIPE\NETLOGON (NT_STATUS_DOMAIN_CONTROLLER_NOT_FOUND) Right now we have to reboot all Winbind systems for them to connect again. Is there a way for Winbind to automatically connect to the rebooted AD? Thanks, john
