Hello folks, The documentation for running Samba as a BDC clearly states that it is not operational with a Windows PDC [1], but this documentation covers Samba-3 and it was suggested in IRC by scooby2 that this functionality is now suported in Samba 4. Can anyone else confirm this? Should I use the documentation for Smaba BDC or is there more current documentation for this functionality? Sincerely, Dennison [1] https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/samba-bdc.html, "Samba-3 cannot function as a BDC to an MS Windows NT4 PDC, and Samba-3 cannot function correctly as a PDC to an MS Windows NT4 BDC. Both Samba-3 and MS Windows NT4 can function as a BDC to its own type of PDC."

If you're running 2008, you have a _DC_ in an _AD_. Replication in an AD is multi-directional. So there's no master/slave. https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Terms_and_Abbreviations#Domain_Controller_.28DC.29 However, if you want to add a Samba DC to your existing AD: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Join_a_domain_as_a_DC Regards, Marc
