[Samba] samba 4.8 client and 4.9 AD DC: Reducing LDAP page size from 1000 to 500 due to IO_TIMEOUT

Hello,

Thank You for prompt reply!

As I stated, I don't have any issues that I'm aware of, but this file
server is new in my infrastructure and I was worried that something is
incorrect. I set minimal logging as a habit, and I bumped winbind recently
to maybe see something that would help me solve this problem.

What about this:
ads_search_retry: failed to reconnect (No logon servers are currently
available to service the logon request.)

is it "normal" in this context? That was the part that worried me, this and
perhaps some performance issue (IO_TIMEOUT).

Regards,
Kacper
