Yes you could do that as well, but I would figure it might be easier administratively for you to just use samba as a BDC. There are some great documents @ www.samba.org

How does the account replication work between my NT4.0 PDC and the Samba BDC? I do not have the time right now to switch from MS to Samba at my main site. I am trying to learn the ways of the force in regards to OpenLDAP and Samba but have not mastered them yet. With MS still acting as the PDC, will this negate the possibility of a Samba BDC? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of James Taylor Sent: February 27, 2006 1:55 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; 'Samba' Subject: RE: [Samba] Need Advice Save yourself the costs of having to buy licensing and extra equipment and run Samba as an NT4 BDC. In my humble belief it would be easier for you to maintain and less overhead at your remote location where you might have limited IT support. JT -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Travis Bullock Sent: Monday, February 27, 2006 12:53 PM To: Samba Subject: [Samba] Need Advice Greetings, We are going to be expanding our operations to another city. I currently use Samba and Winbind to provide shares and file access to my existing locations users. The account information is kept on a NT4.0 PDC and BDC. I have connected the new location via OpenVPN. I am wondering how I should go about expanding my domain. Should I set up another NT4.0 BDC in the new office and have a local Samba machine get account info from that via Winbind? Or should I set up the Samba machine as a BDC itself? Is it possible for a Samba BDC to receive account updates from a NT4.0 PDC?
