[Samba] GPO, multiple DCs, sites and sysvol

[Sébastien Le Ray]

Hi list,

I recently realized that using multiple DC has a major drawback when 
using Samba

In my understanding, in a classical AD environment, sysvol share is 
supposed to be a DFS share. This means that proximity rules are applied 
when accessing to it.

When using samba it seems that we face a classical round-robin DNS, 
which can lead to the situation where a machine on site A tries to fetch 
its GPO (and scripts, and software) from a DC on site B (as per Murphy's 
law, the slowest is the link between the two sites, the higher the 
chances to use it).

Did I miss something?

Regards
