Hi,
I just found out the hard way that sysvol replication with rsync stoped
working when I activated winbind (libnss-winbind actually) on my primary
AD DC.
Originally I hadn't planed to activate winbind on the primary AD DC
since that machine was not meant to provide any shares.
What I hadn't thought of was the fact that GPOs reside as files on the
sysvol share and thus are subject to the same rules as any other files.
Now I activated winbind and those files now belong to a non-numeric
group and rsync complains.
Maybe a hint in that regard on
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/SysVol_Replication would be nice.
What is the best practice in regard to all those groups like "Domain
Admins" "Printer Operators" and so on?
Should those get posix uid/gid numbers? Could somebody point me in the
right direction?
Thanks
