Dear Help, We are currently running Samba 3.0.22 on a distributed network/domain as a PDC (primary domain controller) and several as BDCs (Backup domain controllers) in our branch offices located around the country. At this point, the PDC is set up in our corporate office (where I'm located) and users have no trouble authenticating (via logging into windows and accessing shares) and also

Hi, My doubt is about Idmap + LDAP + winbind, related do BDC + PDC. We are using Samba 3.0.33 (Slackware 12.0.0). Our layout is almost like this one http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/images/chap6-net.png, but we have more BLDGn than this example. Actually, we are taking ideas from http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/happy.html and from

Hello I have a network setup with one Samba PDC and two Samba BDCs separated by routers (ref http://www.cybersource.com.au/users/mikef/samba/). In this test environment the Samba servers all use the master OpenLDAP server on the PDC, but the production system will have OpenLDAP servers (using master-slave replication) on all Samba servers. I can't get the Windows XP client to change a

Hi, We have an old domain with a samba-3 PDC and LDAP backend in our HQ and two BDC in our branch offices. Since we don't use the domain in our HQ anymore and one of the branches will be moved to our new domain (2003/2008) I'm thinking about decomissioning the PDC and promote both BDCs as PDC for their branch offices and networks. I would also get rid of LDAP. Changing the backend to

Hi, I want to set up SaMBa PDC and BDC with LDAP. I read the TOSHARG2, but don't understand something: >Samba-3 cannot participate in true SAM replication and is therefore not able to employ >precisely the same protocols used by MS Windows NT4. A Samba-3 BDC will not create >SAM update delta files. Ok, I understand until that, but: >It will not interoperate with a PDC (NT4 or

Software: OS: Redhat 9 Samba Ver: Samba 3.0.0 (Plus excel writelock patch, waiting for 3.0.2!) OpenLDAP Ver: 2.0.27-8 Just a quick question about PDC / BDC interaction, my plan is to distribute Samba (with slave ldap backend) BDCs to remote facilities, as well as have one on each network segment in the hopes of avoiding unnecessary nmb broadcast traffic. My question is this: Will the PDC /

We're about to start migrating from Windows NT 4.0 to a Samba controlled setup. I've got a question about the functionality of the Samba PDCs and BDCs. In my Windows setup I have three domains that are defined by geographic locations. Each of these domains "trusts" the other. In Samba 2.2.7, I can't have the trusts, so I'm looking at creating one giant domain that

I was wondering how people sync the roaming profiles in an environment with a PDC and multiple BDCs. Are profiles better stored in another server (a member server) instead of the xDC? I could use rsync from the PDC to the BDC, but that doesn't work the other way around, i.e., when a user logs in via a BDC whatever changes they make won't go back to the PDC. Unless the profile is: - always

hi list&john, i read in the documention about BDCs: The domain SID has to be the same on the PDC and the BDC. In Samba versions pre-2.2.5, the domain SID was stored in the file |private/MACHINE.SID|. For all versions of Samba released since 2.2.5 the domain SID is stored in the file |private/secrets.tdb|. This file is unique to each server and cannot be copied from a PDC to a BDC; the BDC

Hi people: I've been using Samba for a long time with some "basic" features like Samba working as a PDC, integrated with OpenLDAP, being a print server, among others, for a small number of "almost controlled" users (no more than 30 or 50 users). But now I'm interested to implement a Windows domain using Samba for a University with 6000-8000 users distributed through

Hi, I had a working enviroment of one PDC and several BDCs. The PDC is Samba version 3.6.6. After replacing of one BDC, I've started to get the following error in LDAP master server: Aug 22 13:44:59 gw slapd[28598]: conn=46129 op=51 do_search: invalid dn (sambaDomainName=Administrator,(null)) and on the PDC: root@:~# net getlocalsid smbldap_search_domain_info: Adding domain info for XXX

Hello all, We have Samba (2.2.5) running on three servers, each in a different subnet. One of them is a PDC (domain master = yes). The Samba PDC is also the NIS master. The smbpasswd is replicated using rsync to the other machines that act as Samba BDCs (domain master = no). They are also NIS slave servers. The smbpasswd synchronization takes place automatically every time smbpasswd is updated,

hi, until now (about 1 year ago) i was working only with samba3+ldap PDC, but in near future my company enlarge his network with 6 new branchs spreaded all oever the country and i must build a scalable network with Samba-3 PDCs and BDCs, implement LDAP replication and multiple LDAP backends, all this over some VPNs(ipsec) . so, can tell me anyone how work the relationship beetwen a samba3-ldap

I have looked a bit through some of the archives for this list, and I have caught different ideas on this matter.. I've also read through the HOWTOs on how to do this stuff, but I haven't received the same results that I was expecting, so I need someone to help me out a bit, give me a definite YES or NO and if YES, how? I have the latest release candidate of samba 3 installed on redhat-9.

Thanks But this is for demoting a PDC to a BDC. I've done that already. What I want to demote my BDCs to standalone server. I'll give a try to upromote.

When BDC will not make any changes in ldap, is it safe to not set any *script paramater in smb.conf? --beast

Hallo, I've setup a BDC in the same subnet like my PDC. I observed that some User take the BDC to logon. The Domain-Join of some PCs will also done at the BDC. Is this behavior normal and wanted? If done so, I have to rsync the profiles or only netlogon? Best regards Matthias PDC: [global] netbios name = PDC workgroup = MyDOMAIN server string = DC (PDC) (%v)

How to configure smb.conf of a samba BDC server to allow that all changes (user's passwords changing, joining computers) was written to local LDAP. I?ve set remotes LDAP's (BDCs) with multimaster configuration via syncrepl. LDAP Multimaster feature works fine (N-way replication works perfectly) I need this configuration to void errors when a user must to change his/her password in a
