samba - Feb 2014 - advice, suggestions. ( dns-dhcp) and "shared" sysvol ?

Hai, 
?
Im radicaly changing my network, and i need some advice. 
?
The setup wil be like this. 
?
Samba-MASTER???AD-DC server, with DNS-master and TIME-master
Samba-SLAVE1?????AD-DC server, DNS Slave1, TIME1, DHCPmaster-server1 ( with
failover to 2)????
and when above is running, i'll add. 
Samba-SLAVE2?????AD-DC server, DNS Slave2, TIME2, DHCPmaster-server2 ( with
failover to 1?)?
?
Slave1 and Slave2 provide the DNS, Time (through ad and NTP ) and these get dhcp
if possible.
I want to use bind9, or is it better to use the samba internal DNS. 
?
I have 4 other domainnames which i manage through MS DNS tool, of through flate
file in bind.

?
Running OS wil be debian wheezy, with ??? packages.
i?can choose. 
1 - sernet
2 - wheezy backports 
3 - debian samba, recompiled from sid. 
4 - compile from source. ... but, this is no option for my due to very
restrictive setups. ( aka no compileing software on the production servers. )
first option for me is 1, the sernet packages. 
?
Bind, i can run debian defaults bind 9.8 or the sid version 9.9.3 
any sugestions? 
?
Target pc's Win XP, Win 7, Win 8.1. 
Some linux clients, but this is covert. 
The domain members, are for later.? ;-) 
All member servers get winbind, since thats running now also, thats a easy
change.
?
The dhcpserver(s) wil be provide-ing dynamic DNS, and i know there are some
thingies about this
with windows dns registration, 
?
I have a lot already, but this part is a bit unclear..? ( the D-DNS part with
samba?and bind9 )
I?can setup a ddns server on my debian, with bind9, this was running before on
my samba+ldap setup.
?
And other question, 
server setup wil be simpel, 2 partitions. /? and /home/samba 
the /home/samba gets all the samba thingies, like sysvol/netlogon 
this part due to GPO rsync-ing, would be nice to?setup ? 
gluster? CTDB ? MSDFS ?? ( just for the sysvol ) 
wat do you use, settting up, ( de linux part i can do ) the samba part is new
for me.
?
So anyone any suggestion, tips to sites with nice likes are apriciated. 
example configs etc, would be very nice ;-) 
?
Im still in reading now, but i would like to tips for the dns/dhcp setup and the
"shared" sysvol setup.
( sorry i cleaned my mails, i know there was recently someone with a setup like
this. )
?
?
The complete install wil be documented, so when done, i wil share this. 
?
?
Best regards, 
?

Hello Louis,

I have been running sernet's packages for quite some time now on an old
Debian Lenny box. In my new setup I am using the latest sernet packages
(4.1.4) and this seem to work fine together with Wheezy's stock Bind
9.8.something. I have a much simpler setup than you have, so your mileage
may vary.


regards,

Kenneth
