Re: [Samba] Need suggestion for domain controller
I would suggest that putting the PDC and LDAP server on the same machine does make sense, since they are (from the point of view of windows clients) so closely integrated. It is correctly that if you have the both services on the same machine, then if that machine goes down you lose both functionality. However, if the PDC and LDAP server are on separate machines, if the LDAP server goes down your PDC server is effectively disabled anyway. If you want redundancy I suggest configuring two machines- each machine is an LDAP server (with replication enabled) and each machine is a samba domain controller (1 PDC and 1 or more BDC's.) -Original Message- From: samba-boun...@lists.samba.org [mailto:samba-boun...@lists.samba.org] On Behalf Of Rob Townley Sent: Sunday, August 01, 2010 7:26 PM To: John Drescher Cc: samba@lists.samba.org; masatheesh Subject: Re: [Samba] Need suggestion for domain controller Please elaborate on why you do not like OpenLDAP and SambaPDC same machine?

I would consider a newer Linux distribution besides CentOS 5.x I have worked with RHEL and Fedora. I think (not 100% sure) that Centos 5.x comes with Samba 3.0.x If you want Win 7 client support you would want samba 3.4.x or 3.5.x.Which means either a more current linux release or compiling it your self.

Re: [Samba] Need suggestion for domain controller
Is this for a heavy duty production environment? The reason I'm asking is Samba4 (with is in alpha stage) functions nearly exactly like and AD Server (can even manage it using the windows tools) does dynamic DNS updates, and works great... It's pretty easy to setup on CentOS as well..

All are valid. I mean when setting up a samba domain with open ldap you should have at least 1 machine that is a PDC and at least 1 machine that has openldap on it. Unless this is a home install I believe you should have at least 2 of each. The choice of how to combine these services is up to the user. For my department (of less than 50 users but 30TB of raid on a 100% gigabit network) I have 3 DCs and 3 openldap servers. At the moment they are PDC + Openldap. Also since I have no user shares on the domain controllers (all data is on dual / quad core domain member servers) I have these as guests under a vps (openvz or lxc).
