I have noticed while testing my Samba 3.0.2a primary and backup domain
controllers with Windows XP clients, that when I attempt to login to the
Samba PDC, the XP client will sometimes randomly choose the backup
domain controller. I only want the client to join the backup domain
controller when the PDC is offline. I am not experiencing any random
network outages or DNS failures so I am bewildered as to why I am
experiencing this erratic bahavior. The following is my global config.
from my smb.conf on my bdc and pdc. Any help and advice would be greatly
appreciated:
