[Samba] Samba Active Directory Domain Controller

Hello James,

To your questions:

*"Are DC1 and DC2 in the same geographical location?"*

     Yes, they are in same location, & they are in the same subnet as well.

*"I'm also unclear from your message if you are still having password 
issues or not."*

**It appears to have been resolved. When we randomly checked, users were 
able to change their passwords. However logging in with new passwords 
were taking sometime.

*"It also appears you are missing 'dns forwarder =' in DC2 smb.conf"*

**As we understand, the dns forwarder is only used for resolving the 
names that are not in Internal DNS A Records right? Now the forwarder 
DNS will not have DC1 or DC2 records. Should it not resolve internally? 
We even changed the nameserver in resolv.conf, put the IP of DC1 and DC2 
both there, same error appears.

     Even on DC1, when we use nslookup to check the dns forwarding, it 
returns an error confirming that it is not forwarding.

I will share the output of the command you mentioned and also the output 
of nslookup from both DC1 and DC2.

Anantha Raghava
