As much as I'm gonna get land blasted for suggesting it, if they are windows machines, use a windows PDC.  I've used a Samba PDC for a couple years and am switching over to M$ right now.  It's a pain at first, but once you see the benefits and ease, you'll ask yourself why you never did it before.

Just my $0.02, please don't flame me for suggesting M$

Hi all,

At work, there are several workstations and servers (about 15) running
Win2k, Win2k Server,
and WinXP.  I also have a server running SuSE 9.1 that has Samba 3.0.4
installed.
I'm wondering if anyone out there has used Samba as a Primary Domain
Controller
in a Windows environment? Can Samba be used as a BDC (Backup Domain
Controller)?

What are the pit-falls? ... Any "war" stories? ... Advice??

Thanks,
-Chuck
