Samba 3 won't work as a BDC for a Windows PDC. I don't think Samba 4 would either but you have to check the documentation at samba.org.
But you could probably make the samba server a member server in the Windows domain- assuming that the WAN connection between the two is persistent and reliable. Or you could just have the external office in a 2nd domain with trusts between the domains. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of T.

Hello everybody, could samba (version 3 or 4) act as a "bdc" for an w2k8/r2 AD? There's one external office with a few users only, and there will be a samba-based system for file-storage - so if that system could also do the user-authentication for all users there it'd be nearly perfect ...
