[Samba] ***BULK*** Re: Force logonserver in samba4

[Iñigo Martinez Lasala]

Hi Marc.

I've not worked with AD since Windows 2000 era and after ten years with 
samba3 I had completely forgotten this feature.

We have created three sites but after moving oversea DCs to proper zone 
samba freezes. We will leave all the night working to see if we have to 
wait for a long time or if there is some kind of problem with Active 
Directory Sites and Services in samba4.

Thank you very much.
