Yes, I have a PDC, but also BDCs. PDC is somewhere else behind WAN/VPN.

So if users connect, they connect to the BDC in their respective office.

But even then I think smbstatus will show nothing some time after they 
are logged in, and certainly won't show anything if they are logged out.

smbclient -L PDC, however, will show all the machines in all offices 
(but without IP addresses).
