[Samba] Dynamic DNS Updates

Having reconfigured Samba4 to use BIND as a DNS server to get dynamic DNS updates working, I'm still working to understand the system. The Windows client I'm testing only seems up update DNS if I run ipconfig /registerdns. It doesn't update DNS at startup or IP change OOTB. Is it expected that

Hey Luc, Samba 4 doesn't currently have FRS enabled and so doesn't replicate SYSVOL. http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/DRS_TODO_List#Add_cifsfs.2Brsync_interim_script_for_group_policy_replication Some people have had success with scripting replication using rsync etc. Cheers, Chris On

CR Some people have had success with scripting replication using rsync etc. I don't want this to sound like I'm arguing, because I'm not. I'm just not aware of ANYONE who has gotten rsync to work properly handling all the EA's and such in syncing any Samba4 AD filesystems between AD

[Samba] Samba 4 ADDC. Dynamic DNS updates from Windows clients.

2013-05-12 Thread Chris Rowson
I'm currently testing samba 4, and I've come across a problem which I can't seem to find an answer for. I have one samba 4 ADDC running on a Centos 6 container, compiled from the latest stable source release and setup as per the samba wiki. I'm running the internal DNS server. DHCP is provided
