You should be able to have a Samba PDC in the "faraway" site and set up
trusts with the AD PDC in the central site.
If the "faraway" users don't need to access files on the central server,
than you probably don't even need trusts.

Hi,
i have to set up a new server far away from home.
At the central i have a Win 2008 native AD server with a samba AD
member. Now i have to install a new server at an other location with a 1
Mbit/s connection. I don't know yet how reliable the connection will be.
The users "faraway" should not need to manual authenticate to
fileservers in the Central.
What would you recommend? I thought about an new domain with domain
trusts. Or should i make it just an AD member (what happens if the AD
Server is not reachable?)
I think an other setup i have done years before (PDC -LDAP -[P|B]DC)
will not work with AD.
If you don't need exchange you could try a Samba4 AD joined server and
local DNS. Depending on the size of the sattelite location YMMV. For a
large critical production environment, your best bet at this time
would of course be another M$ server.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Andreas
