[Samba] Clients unable to get group policy...

Mon Jun 15 07:59:04 MDT 2015

Well, here is my plan of action. I will migrate the VMs on the secondary
server to the primary one. Then I will zero the RAID10 array, install
the latest XenServer, and load a Gentoo VM to build the needed binary
packages. I can then create a new DC, promote it to the primary server,
move the Windows VMs back to the secondary server, and then wipe and
reload the primary box. This way I have an evolving OS which shouldn't
be left behind, no systemd, and my problems with Samba should go away.
Oh, and I am not blaming Samba for the issues. It has evolved and become
better. Debian 6 (Squeeze) has NOT, due to being oldstable and now obsolete.

Hey, it will be a learning experience for my assistant. Besides, if I
screw something up I can get great help on this list and worst case
scenario is I get to build a new domain. Thanks for the help, Rowland
and Louis.
