Hello, Our company is trying to implement central Windows Domain at HQ and replicated across all its regional offices. The implementation will have a PDC/LDAP-master on HQ and BDC/LDAP-slave on each regional office. In the hopes of saving bandwidth we are trying to avoid the use of WINS between WAN links. Is there any way of not using WINS and still have the clients find the PDC (for updating

Hi samba admins, I don?t know is this the right place for my question, but I can?t find a list for my problem. I have some trobble to configure the smbldap-tools. I have download and copy the scripts to /usr/local/sbin. But a /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-useradd.pl testuser breaks with this error message: get_user_dn2: error in ldapsearch : /usr/bin/ldapsearch -x -h _SLAVELDAP_ -D '_BINDDN_'

I am hoping someone can help here. I noticed a really odd issue. WINS resolution doesn't seem to work between my PDC and BDC, both Samba 3.0.14a boxes running on Debian. I have nsswitch.conf configured properly, I think. Here are the nsswitch.conf settings. PDC: hosts: files dns wins BDC: hosts: files dns wins On the BDC, I have the parameter wins server = 192.168.0.2, the address

Hi all, I've compiled 3.0.7 on a test box which also has an LDAP server running on it. This is the first time for me trying to use Samba with LDAP. I copied the IdealX scripts into /usr/local/sbin and edited the _config.pm file. It is attached at the bottom, stripped of comments. I then edited my smb.conf to the effect of the following: passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://localhost ldap

Hello, Will BDC work if PDC crashes or there is no connectivity between them? I assume that the servers are storing users / passwords in LDAP database; both BDC and PDC have LDAP running locally (changes in PDC are replicated to BDC). Will users be able to log into the domain / use roaming profiles with no PDC (as it crashed or link was broken), when only BDC is running? Tomek

I think I'm having a problem during the vampire process. Would someone tell me why my domain users are being deleted from the Domain Users group after they are created?

Hello and happy new year :) I have to set up a samba server as a PDC with a openldap backend. My openldap server is fully functionnal and it is not secured yet (so no problems with tls). I must use debian etch or lenny. My server's IP is 192.168.9.10/24. I have set up a dns server (bind9) for my domain named "mik". It's a local domain for testing only. There is a piece of

Hi people, Been doing a server installation with Samba as a primary PDC that uses an LDAP backend on CentOS 5. The thing is that I cannot be able to get Samba and LDAP to talk as they should and now Im really stuck. Below are my dumps for /etc/samba/smb.conf, ldap.conf (copied its contents to /etc/openldap/ldap.conf too), and smbldap.conf. Excuse my long post; trying to be as elaborate as

Hi, i have already search for three days now but i can't find any tips. I am running a Samba PDC based on smb 3.0.23. No i want to integrate a second samba server which should serve serveral client, just to decrease the load on the pdc. This should not be a BDC, just a domain member. For user management i use openLDAP. Well, what do i need for this scenario? Do I need winbind or can i just

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

Hello, I'm trying to set up Samba + OpenLDAP as a PDC. I followed the instructions from chapter 6 in Samba-3 by Example, my system is SuSE 9.1. ldap, winbind, nmb and smb are running. testparm says my smb.conf file is OK. I set LDAP password using smbpasswd -w. There was a similar post a few days ago (smbldap-tools don't create machine account properly), but it didn't help me.

Hi all, I have this question, I ve got a master LDAP server on a remote place and i want to install a PDC and a BDC and a slave ldap server in other place. Mi question is... may I force de WorkStations logging (read the information )against the BDC first than PDC, so the READ trafic goes to the Slave Ldap??? The problem is the network avoid READ traffic. In the Samba FAQ recomends that the:

Hi, I was wondering if a Samba BDC should be able to create users and computer accounts when connecting to a LDAP PDC server? Should the add scripT lines be included in a BDC's smb.conf file? Normally, as far I know, BDC should just log on users. Or am I wrong? Thanks,

Hi all ! In the samba-Howto, i was looking on informations on how to set up both a samba PDC and a samba BDC controller with ldap backend.
