Is the reverse possible? I mean, can samba-tng be joined by an NT BDC, and
use samsync on the samba server to sync the NT SAM with the samba password
file?

If I try to load NT as a BDC for a samba-tng domain, I can't go past the
prompt for the PDC and domain name. I get "Can not locate PDC".

I've been able to make the samba server join the NT PDC and issue
administrator commands. I've even had samba show up on Server Mgr on the
NT as a BDC. But when I try to promote the samba server to PDC, the NT
server complains "The RPC server is not available". I'm sure the RPC
server it is talking about is on the samba server because I hear activity
on the disk drive as soon as I issue the promote command.

What is the proper way to make samba a BDC for an NT PDC? If there is any.

Please help!

Thanks;

Al.
