Hello, at the Moment we use and Samba 4 in NT4-style Domain with approx. 20 Clients. With the Problem of Windows 10 to join to NT4-style (https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Required_Settings_for_Samba_NT4_Domains#Windows_10:_There_Are_Currently_No_Logon_Servers_Available_to_Service_the_Logon_Request) we plan to migrate to Samba AD. At the Moment there is the following scheme: samba PDC

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 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 there, I have a problem getting my Samba installation redundant. I installed a PDC and a BDC working with 2 LDAP servers. The problem is, when users are logged in and the BDC fails, the PDC does not take over the running sessions and vice versa. The clients have a hanging explorer and so on. When the failing server gets back online again, everything works, no lags anymore. Is it possible

Hi! I have to migrate a samba domain to an Active Directory and therefore I need as first step to have a NT4.0 BDC in my network. As I don't find an useful answer via google I want to ask you if a NT4 BDC will work in a Samba PDC enviroment? regards Martin

Hello, is it possible to add a wind 2003 machine as BDC to a samba domain. Is documentation documentation available ? Thanks Andreas

Hi everyone! I have some trouble with samba 3.0.23 as PDC for NT4 workstations with SP6a. I have upgraded from samba2. 1. The ntconfig.pol from the netlogon-share does'nt work. I get a prf1.tmp in the User-Profile-Folder and the policy wouldn't mix to the registry. In the Event-Log I found an entry "RegLoadKey ist mit dem Fehler 87 f?r C:\WINNT\Profiles\aba\prfD.tmp

Hello According to NT4 Migration Using tdbsam Backend http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/ntmigration.html#id2604610 I would like to transfer PDC settings (users,groups sids) to BDC and later make from BDC PDC machine. I have Fedora Core 7 PDC(hostname serwer) and Centos 5.4 BDC (hostname serwer2) both on tdbsam backends. I have copied smb.conf, passwd,group,shadow,secrets.tdb files

Hi All, We have an NT4 machine which is our PDC. I'm looking to replace this with one of our linux servers. I joined the linux server to the domain ok. Then I vampired all the accounts across which worked ok. I then switched off NT PDC, made samba the master and start samba service. Problem is we are loosing all our settings. After a quick hunt around I noticed a new profiles

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.

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,

Hello folks, The documentation for running Samba as a BDC clearly states that it is not operational with a Windows PDC [1], but this documentation covers Samba-3 and it was suggested in IRC by scooby2 that this functionality is now suported in Samba 4. Can anyone else confirm this? Should I use the documentation for Smaba BDC or is there more current documentation for this functionality?

We have had a Samba LDAP-PDC-BDC system setup for close to 3 months with about 60 computers in the domain. Earlier we had a power outage and about 30 computers no longer were able to log into the domain or authenticate. Some were NT Workstations and some were W2k. But not all NT or W2K workstations were affected. If we went to network neighborhood we would see the error message "

Are you sure of that ? I thought it was possible... If it is not, I've got another slightly off topic question : how to I demote my former Windows NT PDC (that is now a BDC) to a normal Windows NT server, so that I have no problem with it ?

Hi, coming back to my old topic: How to manage clients. Up to Windows XP one could use the NT4-style policies, but Vista does not seem to obey them. Are there any plans to get group policy functions on a samba-only domain? Or are there other ways to manage the clients? best regards, Gunther
