[Samba] AD Connection Problems

[Klinger, John (N-CSC)]

We are using Samba for shares and Winbind for Active Directory authentication, and are down
to a few problems.

If the AD goes down or reboots, Winbind loses its connection. In the winbind log, it reports:

  Could not open a connection to TEST1 for \PIPE\NETLOGON (NT_STATUS_DOMAIN_CONTROLLER_NOT_FOUND)

Right now we have to reboot all Winbind systems for them to connect again. Is there a way for
Winbind to automatically connect to the rebooted AD?

Thanks,
john
