[Samba] Recommended stations on a server and slave domain controller
Hello, We are thinking about an alternative solution of Active Directory for a client so I have a few questions about SAMBA4. 1/ My first question is about a supposed or a recommended limitation of 1000 workstations on one server. I would like to know if this limitation is truly recommended or if an increase of 5000 machines is possible for one server. 2/ And finally about the slave domain controller, I would like to know if the DC_SLAVE role is already enabled and if it's not the case, is that a planned feature ? Thanks for your help and your answers. Regards, -- Sourisack Phanivong Support OSSA LINAGORA 80 Rue Roque de Fillol 92800 Puteaux

About what kind of server are we talking about here? AD DC? PDC? File-/Print Server?> 2/ And finally about the slave domain controller, I would like to know > if the DC_SLAVE role is already enabled and if it's not the case, is > that a planned feature ?What do you mean with DC_SLAVE role? Multi-master replication between AD DCs works for a long time. Regards, Marc

AD DC? PDC? > File-/Print Server?That was an information given by my colleague following a discussion with the community but that was more an advise than a recommendation. The server is a PDC. Actually, we want to make a test with 5000 machines and we wanted to know if it has been done before and try to have some feedback (mainly in terms of performance) for a configuration like this.>> 2/ And finally about the slave domain controller, I would like to know >> if the DC_SLAVE role is already enabled and if it's not the case, is >> that a planned feature ? > What do you mean with DC_SLAVE role?

The DC_SLAVE role doesn't seems to exist for the moment. Thank you very much again for your help. Regards, Sourisack.
