Thanks for the info,

I did not try this setup yet.


Anyway,

Would you guys recommend a replication setup for production yet? The samba internal dns implementation being still work in progresss?


I really wonder if I should just set up a single DC for starters and wait until the whole DNS will be part of samba. This Domain will only cater to about 100-150 clients and one DC should be easily able to deal with this workload?!


A second DC would certainly a good idea, but i really wonder if it's worth the hassle right now.

I can just take daily snapshots of a single DC and roll back if anything goes terribly wrong.




Thanks for your input!

Hi guys,


I'm trying to get the Samba4 multi-master replication to work.



I set up the primary domain controller using this howto (under CentOS
6.2 x64):


http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/HOWTO



I installed bind 9.8.3 and enabled encrypted dns updates.




I set up another VM with the same CentOS version and oriented myself
on this howto:

http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/HOWTO/Join_a_domain_as_a_DC

to join the second DC into the domain. I edited /etc/resolv.conf and
set the nameserver to the IP of the primary DC (bind dns server).


Basic replication seems to work (not doing the rsync for sysvol yet).
However, when i take the primary DC offline (bind keeps running), I
can't use any of the .msc domain admin tools anymore.

I always get an error message, telling me that there is no RPC server
available.
When i run gpmc.msc i can choose the DC i want to work on and I can
see the secondary one, but it will come back with the RPC error.

I had Wireshark running on one of the Windows7 clients. It seems like
it tries to talk to the 2nd DC (DCERPC packets). But i'm not an expert
in packet analysis, could somebody give me a hint what to look for here?



User authentication does still work and Kerberos tickets are generated
by the 2nd DC.



I can find this in the log:


../source4/dsdb/kcc/kcc_topology.c:1402: failed to find nCName

...
Warning: 60 extra bytes in incoming RPC request
../source4/rpc_server/drsuapi/dcesrv_drsuapi.c:74: doing DsBind with

Do i need to configure something extra, so the secondary DC will be
able to act as an RPC server?





Thanks,

Hi,

With your setup DNS is the single point of failure, because with the
(default) DLZ setup bind9 is able to serve DNS records only when samba4 is
running on that box.
My recommendation would be to try to set up DNS on the second DC too.

Regards.
