In this case (without wins), how will computers find pdc? The way i did this was to run one PDC on each network, all using replicas of the same OpenLDAP tree. Samba3 isn't bound by the 'one PDC' requirement, except within a NetBIOS scope. Otherwise, as has been suggested, you can run Samba4 as an AD domain controller.

Re: [Samba] Multinetwork environment without WINS server
If you use DHCP on your network the following directive (on a Linux server running dhcpd) will automatically distribute the WINS information: option netbios-name-servers XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX This is the easiest way I've found to handle the Netbios situation with Samba in a multi-site environment. We have 6 sites total and it has worked flawlessly since the time I installed it. -- Christopher Springer IS/IT Systems Administrator BRC Rubber Plastics, Inc Office: 260-693-2171 x389 Cell: 260-750-2929 csprin...@brcrp.com On 12/22/2010 09:24 PM, TAKAHASHI Motonobu wrote: 2010/12/23t...@tms3.com: Is there any way to use samba as pdc in multinetwork environment without WINS server?

All kinda messy. WINS can not reduce the traffic about NetBIOS browsing, which always use broadcasts regardless of WINS. But WINS can reduce the traffic about NetBIOS name resolution, using unicast to WINS servers instead of broadcasts. --- TAKAHASHI Motonobumo...@samba.gr.jp -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba

WINS was the first attempt to really deal with this problem. It works well enough with samba as a WINS server. If you have any old Windows server around, it might be easier to do, especially if you have 2 of them and want to distribute load a bit and have replication. Guess it really depends on how big your network is.
