A reboot does fix the issue. We've rebooted three times this month to fix the issue. Oddly, the errors do go back to 12/20/12, but we apparently didn't notice the problem in December. It has never happened on DC20 (our only 2008R2 DC). The Linux servers are in the CAL site and can talk to the

Interesting. When you say that the Linux (samba) servers can't talk to DC20, what are you seeing? Authentication failures? How is Samba configured? NTLM, or Kerberos ? Any thoughts of upgrading the 2008 DCs to 2008 R2? See if the issue persists? Christopher Bodnar Enterprise Architect I,

They can't talk to DC20 because it is blocked by the firewall. DC20 is at our disaster recovery site. The Linux servers at the CAL site can only talk to domain controllers in the CAL and CORP sites, because of the firewall access rules. Samba is configured with 'security = ADS', but kerberos is
