Hi list, I am wondering if there is a theoretical maximum for an Active Directory forest, according to Samba or MS? My concern comes from this. We are piloting AD with Samba 4 at a couple of our schools. My thought was to eventually get the top-level forest hosted at our central office, then setup each school as a "site" with its own AD DC at the site, configured to use each

Hello, i have successfully installed samba 4 on three vmware VM's and everything works fine (join pc to domain, user login, dns updates, ntp), but i am facing some performance problems during users bulk loading. my environment: 1st DC: RedHat Linux v6.4,samba 4.1rc4,dns 9.9.3P2,ntp 2nd DC:RedHat Linux v6.4,samba 4.1rc4,dns 9.9.3P2,ntp 3rd DC:RedHat Linux v6.4,samba 4.1rc4,ntp to bulk load

...fork' mode that reduces that by sharing the connections between multiple processes. (Samba 4.6 and below were memory efficient, using one process, but CPU in-efficient using just one CPU for all LDAP traffic). Finally, do test it out. Add lots of users and groups if you are concerned. Use TDB_NO_FSYNC=1 during the load to make things faster (but of course unsafe) and you can easily add that many users. Additionally we now have load testing tools you can use to trial the system with a replay of realistic traffic from your network. These are in Samba's master branch and will be part of Samba...
