My problem is that when my PDC is down, my BDC can pick up the user authorization but is not able to help client to mount to the home directory.
I am using openldap to store user account, I found the samba home drive entry in the openldap as //PDC/homes. I don't know whether this prevent my BDC to help client to mount to the //BDC/homes instead... Do anyone know how to solve this?? Thanks a lot!
