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

People, I have one PDC and a BDC on the matrix side and two BDCs on the branch office. I don't know if it is a problem. Anybody could help me? PDC # net rpc testjoin get_schannel_session_key: could not fetch trust account password for domain 'DOMAIN_NAME' net_rpc_join_ok: failed to get schannel session key from server PDC for domain DOMAIN_NAME. Error was

Hi, First time I try ro resolve a domain user after samba/winbind is started, it takes a couple of seconds during which winbind says the following Received packet for \MAILSLOT\NET\GETDC700000A GetDC got invalid response type 21 Received packet for \MAILSLOT\NET\GETDC700000A GetDC got invalid response type 21 Received packet for \MAILSLOT\NET\GETDC700000A GetDC got invalid response type 21

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,

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

Replication has been running smoothly until I upgraded to 4.5.0. I had various errors with all BDCs and a force sync didn't resolve it. I shutdown all BDCs, demoted them with --remove-other-dead-server then joined new BDCs with new names. At first replication was intermittently failing (consecutive failures counter kept resetting), but it seemed OK, just slow if anything. Now they all

How much of a resource hog is a PDC? My understanding is that authentication is done vs a BDC if available. I configured my new file server as the domain PDC because I figured it would already have to run samba. I have two other machines configured as BDCs to serve as logon servers. I'm looking for opinions on whether I'm asking for performance problems by making my file server the

OK, I think I've hit a misfeature in samba 3.0(release, Debian/sid) when it comes to using both Samba BDCs and domain trusts. It seems that the domain trust password is stored in the secrets.pdb on the server establishing the trust. This, obviously doesn't facilitate BDCs exercising the trust relationship, or being at all accessable from workstations on the other side of the trust. I

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

Hi Everybody, Here in my company we have migrated from nt4 to Debian Sarge with Samba 3.0.14a + OpenLdap 2.2.23 + db4. Well, it's working fine except for one problem. When I have to get back to a backup copy on my ldap slaves on my BDCs some, or sometimes all, Windows XP machines need to be rejoined to the domain. I manage a workaround stopping Samba every time I need to reset the ldap

Hi I'm currently working on a project aiming at replacing all windows servers (about 20) in my company by linux servers. Some of these windows servers are windows 2000 domain controlers (one PDC and few BDCs) with active directory. We have about 900 client windows 2000 workstations and about 2/3 of them are domain members. Our goal is to replace the windows servers that are domain controlers

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

Here's the situation. We've got an old NT4 domain (not a Samba domain in NT 4 mode) which we'll call CRUSTY. There is of course an NT4 PDC and several NT4 BDCs. We have some Linux/Samba file servers (Samba 3.0.1) that are member servers (security = domain) of the NT4 domain. We also have several NT4 BDCs and about 200 workstations of varying vintage (2000, XP) in several

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

Hi there, I would like to know how Samba / Windows determines which domain controller should handle a logon request, and whether there is a way I can affect the process. Here's the situation: I have a school installation running a Samba domain, with a PDC (1.1GHz Celeron, 256 MB RAM) and one BDC (much smaller, 366 with 64 MB RAM), both with RedHat 7.1 and Samba 2.2.5. There are about 80

I'm trying to decommission our PDC which is running on some older hardware and migrate it's functionality to one of our two currently operating BDCs for the domain. The three servers have nearly identical configurations with only differences in file and printer shares and a couple attributes like "wins support" and "domain master". They all have identical netlogon

I'm helping a small grade school district convert to Samba servers, more specifically, replace the existing NT domain controllers. The district has 3 schools and about 1,700 students and staff members. There is one domain. Currently there are four NT4 DCs, a PDC and 3 BDCs, one in each school. The BDCs act as file servers. There are also several Linux machines running Samba as file
