samba - Nov 2023 - idmap.ldb sync between DCs

Guys,

I understand the need to have the idmap.ldb in DCs in sync, and I do regularly
distribute PDC?s idmap to other DCs.

For those who don?t know:

http://samba.bigbird.es/doku.php?id=samba:sync-idmap.ldb

However, I wonder why this can not be done by samba automatically, or at least
have an option to do it or not. I am not a programmer, but it just look like a
very nice to have feature.

Thanks,

LP

Please do not refer to the DC holding the PDC_Emulator FSMO role as a
'PDC', a PDC is something else entirely.

Whilst it could be done, it hasn't been seen as a priority, but I am
sure if someone wants to write the code, it would be looked on
favourably.
