Hi All, I haven't been able to track down any info on this so would be appreciative of any input. Links to any info on this would also be appreciated. Samba 3.2.5, Debian 5.0 Question 1; Is there any way of setting up a "backup" windows domain controller in the samba config? so if they main dc is not available, it automatically queries the backup? Question 2; What is the best way to back up the UID/GID map? and can it be easily imported back to a new install if the server fails for any reason. Thanks Mark

Great info. on setting up PDC's and BDC's.
Everything should be looked up by DNS. There's no notion of a PDC/BDC in AD (although 2008 has readonly slaves I believe).
