[Samba] Cloning from a backup: unable to reach any KDC in realm
Greetings, This post pertains to a Disaster Recovery (DR) scenario on a Samba 4.8 server. The DR server was provisioned as a standalone host, on a network isolated from the Production Server (PS). The DR's /var/db/samba4 directory, which contains the private directory, was then renamed and replaced with the PS' /var/db/samba4 backup. kinit now fails on the DR with: kinit: krb5_get_init_creds: unable to reach any KDC in realm PRODUCTION Will samba_dnsupdate --verbose resolve this situation? Is there a way for the DR host to seize the KDC? What is the correct procedure to provision and clone a DR host from a backup? Thank you, -- Don Kuenz KB7RPU There was a young lady named Bright Whose speed was far faster than light; She set out one day In a relative way And returned on the previous night.
