Betreff: [Samba] Strange!!! Clients only log on to samba bdc

Hello to all,
 
My samba  servers are doing strange things . I?ve set up a smba-ldap as
PDC and another as BDC. Everything was ok until last week. Suddenly all
clients log on to my BDC not longer
to the PDC. Testparm  didn? t show any changes the PDC results Server
role=ROLE_DOMAIN_PDC and the BDC Server role=ROLE_DOMAIN_BDC.
I put the os level of the PDC to 240 and the BDC?s to 86 nothing
changed. I also changed the Preferred master to no.
How can I force the xp and vista clients only to log on to the PDC?
 
Greetings

What happens if the BDC is unavailable (You could simulate this by 
setting up iptables rules to drop all traffic from a given workstation)? 
The way I understand it, workstations will use what ever DC is
"closest"
to them. If the PDC is taking longer to respond or something then they 
may consider the BDC to be the best choice.
