Hi folks, I have been using Samba4 as an Active Directory domain controller with many clients since about 2013, and it is the best. I have recently been asked to extend the AD domain in a clients office, to 6 other physical sites. Rather than reinvent the wheel, what is the best way to accomplish this given the current support in Samba4? Alex Ferrara Director Receptive IT Solutions
hi depends how big the sites are. here we have 12 remote sites of 10+ users with 30 at main DC location and all 12 connect to the main via IPSEC for auth/gpo/file sharing. if bandwidth is a limiting factor i'd go with RDOC or simply another DC on each site (for scaling), and if the sites are relatively small everything can be kept at main location and possibly keep a another DC at one or more locations for failover. -- View this message in context: http://samba.2283325.n4.nabble.com/Extending-a-Samba4-domain-to-multi-site-tp4693094p4693096.html Sent from the Samba - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
