Hello all, I am in a situation where I need Samba to be a DC server (logons and file/printer services) for multiple domains - from a single machine. The documentation states that "Only the primary server can be a domain member or a domain controller." Are there any work arounds for this? Research at: http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba3-HOWTO/cfgsmarts.html#id263984 5 Cheers, -Andrew

Craig,> try this...samba Wiki > > http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Multiple_Server_Instances > > CraigThat configuration appears to work at a lower level - rather than a single Samba server providing the (multiple DC's) services, samba is actually running multiple times. The documentation 'doesn't' say it's 'not' possible. I will do some testing. Cheers, -Andrew
