Hi, I have a samba AD domain that I just added a 3rd DC to. I am using the instructions at https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Bidirectional_Rsync/osync_based_SysVol_replication_workaround to setup replication. At the bottom of the page it says to do Something like: DC1 <> DC2 DC1 <> DC3 DC1 <> DC4 If I delete the .osync dirs on all of the DC's, when I do the DC1 <> DC2 replication things work as advertised. When I do the DC1 <> DC3 replication, the Sysvol on DC1 gets deleted. After restoring the Sysvol on DC1, what I finally ended up doing was delete the .osync dirs on all of the DC's then replicate DC1 <> DC3 to get a copy of the Sysvol on the new DC and then replicate DC1 <> DC2. Is deleting the Sysvol on DC1 when doing the first replication to DC3 expected or am I missing something? I then setup a cron job something like the following: /usr/bin/osync.sh /etc/osync/sync-dc1-dc2.conf --silent && /usr/bin/osync.sh /etc/osync/sync-dc1-dc4.conf --silent This seems to work. Does this sound reasonable? Should I be doing something different? Regards, -- Tom me at tdiehl.org
