Hi folks, I've been tasked with a migration of our servers and, as the subject implies, part of it involves a PDC and BDC that were set up before my time. However, I'm trying to accomplish a little bit more to give myself, the sysadmin, a little bit more automation capability: · Migrate the PDC and BDC both to new servers (part of this I've already done with copying

I have a samba classic domain, called it "DomainA." All domain controllers and servers are running 3.6.25 on Solaris 11. The PDC and BDC use an LDAP backend for unix, samba and idmap data. Member servers use LDAP backend for unix accounts, so the underlying unix and group accounts are consistent. There is a trust relationship with Windows 2008 AD domain

When I stop the BDC all clients log on to the PDC. And to my confusion when I restarted the BDC today and made a testparm on both PDC and BDC both showd role domain pdc --> Server role: ROLE_DOMAIN_PDC Here my smb.confs: PDC: [global] security=user smb ports = 139 logon script = logon.bat logon path = \\%L\%U\profile\%U logon drive = S: domain

I have a PDC+LDAP as well as a BDC+LDAP in another subnet setup with a domain member in the same subnet as the BDC. From my understanding the domain member should be hitting the BDC for all authentication but watching the logs I see the PDC is the one handling it all. The BDC just sits there. Am I missing something? Here are the smb.conf for each servers: PDC: [global] workgroup = X.X.X

Hi every body, As you may have guessed, I've got a problem ;) What I had : - A PDC Server (Windows NT 4 SP 6a), called SERVER1, for the domain TEST - A BDC Server (Windows NT 4 SP 6a), called SERVER2, for the domain TEST Everything was working fine. Now I switched my NT PDC to a Samba PDC, and I make SERVER1 a BDC for the domain. Until now, no problem. I use samba 3.0.4,

I tried recreating the trusts. I start by setting up trusts on Windows side, using Active Directory Domains and Trusts on the DomainB AD server. . I specify the the samba domain (DOMAINB) but before I can even specify trust type or direction I get the following: Cannot continue Trust relationship can not be created… The local security authority is unable to obtain an RPC

Hello I makeing a Domain Controller with Samba (v3.0.33) and LDAP (v2.4). I will install a PDC in the headquarter and a BDC in the subsidiary of the company that I work. The PDC and the BDC will have his own LDAP data base. I just install the PDC without problems and my next step is to install the BDC. I configured the LDAP that work in multi master mode. I made some test and the LDAP works

Hi Guys, We're trying to add a BDC in Samb4 classic domain setup. The Samba 3 How -To and Samb3 by Example covers this but uses the old slapd.conf option, we are using the slapd.d config. I couldn't find a similar document for Samba4 Can you please advise that the following steps will work? LDAP in the existing PDC is working using the smbldap tools - Setup the LDAP in BDC

If you mean regular Microsoft AD, the reason is simple: cost. Management sadly does not want to shell out the money for it. If you mean upgrading the Samba PDC to AD, that is what I want to do but on the new servers as opposed to the current set up.

Hi I have a PDC/BDC samba/ldap environment. PDC: samba 3.0.24 slapd 2.3.30 BDC: samba 3.2.5 slapd 2.4.11 Ldap replication is working fine, but I have noticed two issues 1- when a windows user change password on BDC, sambaPwdMustChange and sambaPwdCanChange is not synced on PDC (using ldap passwd sync = yes and unix password sync = no) 2- when using 'net sam set pwdmustchange' on

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I was wondering if it is possible to enable roaming profiles on the BDC. I have consulted the samba.org documentation on roaming profiles and couldn't find the solution for my setup: server1: samba pdc integrated with master ldap + replica to server2 users home shares and profiles are stored here in /home/samba/ and shared using [homes].

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

Just some background: In our environment, we are running both a PDC and BDC. The local network setup has static ips on a different subnet from dhcp ips, thus the PDC has a static ip and the BDC has a dynamic one so the Windows machines are able to see the domain without hardcoding in the ip of the PDC as a wins on each machine. This has worked fine for Windows XP. We are also using ldap as the

Hi all, I am newbie on this and I couldn't figure out what I have configured wrong. I have setup three Linux Debian Sarge servers with openldap2 + samba3. PDC and master ldap on one machine and BDC slave ldap on the other two. I followed instructions on http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/happy.html to set them up. I am using utilities smbldap-passwd.pl from idealx for

I have two serves set up. One will be my PDC (master) and the other will be my BDC (slave). I have openldap setup and replicating the data between the two servers. Everything seems to work fine from the Master, but I have one problem with the slave. From the slave, I can do an ldapsearch and everthing is fine. But when I do a 'pdbedit -L', I get the following: Unknown parameter

I'm helping out a small office upgrade their NT 4 PDC to Samba. It's a small office of 6 people, so tdbsam is being used. They keep having tape backup issues and other problems, so one of the reasons for the Samba migration is to allow me to SSH into their box and remotely administer it from home on evenings/weekends. Currently I'm testing the move using two dummy machines, and

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
