Hi We are running the latest 4.6.7 Sernet samba packages on a Ubuntu 12.02 LTS servers with one PDC and 05 RODC's located at the branches. The sysvol replication is working fine from the PDC to the RODC's but the RODC's are failing to login the local clients when the link between the branch and the Main campus is offline. The branch computers and users are added into the Allowed Password Replication Group and I have manually replicated the user and computer into the RODC with the samba-tool rodc preload command but when I login into the WIN 7 client PC it fails to logon with an error "THE PARAMETER IS INCORRECT" Can anyone help to find out the solution to fix this issue.

You should not use any supported Samba release as an RODC yet, this will change with the release of Samba 4.7.0 Rowland

We are very sorry you had the impression this was a functional feature. There are numerous serious issues with both the RODC and DC side of things. Samba 4.7 addresses most of these issues and limitations, however careful testing is required, and we hope to take on more work in this area for a future release (likely 4.9).
