...ny of them. Just that only one of them can hold that particular role at any given tome, so one is considered a master. They are explained in more detail here (it also tells you how to see which DC holds each role): https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Flexible_Single-Master_Operations_(FSMO)_roles#The_five_FSMO_roles There is a wiki page on extensions, though there's not much detail there: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_AD_Schema_Extenstions For the most part, things are no different than schema extensions on a Windows DC. Except you need to use different tools to apply them if you want to d...

...tabases, provision a new domain in a test environment and see, where the databases are placed. About the FSMO roles, you usually don't have to worry. Make sure, that you understand what the five roles are for (https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Flexible_Single-Master_Operations_%28FSMO%29_roles#The_five_FSMO_roles). Some domain features aren't available, if the DC owning a role is temporary down. But in most situations, this isn't business critical. Like if the RID master is down, your can e. g. create only new objects (users, groups, etc), until your second DCs RID pool is empty. Regards, Marc

Dear All, I've read https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Flexible_Single-Master_Operations_(FSMO)_roles Under section https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Flexible_Single-Master_Operations_(FSMO)_roles#How_to_handle_situations_where_a_DC_with_FSMO_roles_is_offline Let assume that DC1 is take all the roles... It tell that we should put the fail DC1 back online and do the role transfer... But below

Hello I have primary and secondary Samba 4 DCs running very nicely with replication. I have DC1 using the official Backup scripts. We are moving these to virtual machines. We are changing the Linux OS on DC1 from Gentoo to Ubuntu. REAL DC1 = FSMO Role REAL DC1 = Gentoo REAL DC2 = Ubuntu VIRTUAL DC1 = Ubuntu What is the correct way to change DC1 to a virtual machine? Do I just restore from

It finally happened, a DC is down and I am trying to figure out what to do now. The LSI RAID card is dead (it actually caught fire briefly) and I obviously cannot boot the system until the replacement arrives. I do have a second Samba DC on the domain, but what I am seeing is that it runs like Server 2000 for some reason. It is acting like a backup DC, not a normal DC like 2008 and 2003. I

SOGo/Openchange is not willing i f it is not holding the fsmo roles. And by the way in an multiple DC replicating environment you can kill your domain on the fly even with a real "Exchange-Server" if you are not carefull enough. So the only way to make OPenchange live in your domain ist o join it as dc. And status of development as far as I know this is hard to do. Or you manage to
