All, I help run a school and we have a samba domain (no windows servers). I am however fearful of something happening and creating a school-wide outage if my PDC goes down. What is all involved in creating a BDC and to connect to my PDC?
In addition, I have another question about pdc / bdc and user data. With a PDC/ BDC infrastructure set up, am I supposed to have all the data (homes drives, shares, etc) on a separate machine so then if a PDC goes down, the BDC can serve the same files? How does a BDC / PDC work in terms of where to store files? I am also currently using the /etc/samba/smbpasswd for username /passwords, but I am looking at going to LDAP... Any direction and just a 'nutshell' response to pdc /bdc with samba would be helpful.
