Hi, |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
If my memory serves well, I've read/heard somewhere that the SBS |
| 28 |
edition of MS Win2003 is pre-set to be "The PDC". Assuming this is the |
| 29 |
case, my guess is that your Win2003 and the existing Gentoo SAMBA |
| 30 |
server are both declaring them selves as "The PDC". Depending on |
| 31 |
different conditions in your network some clients see the SAMBA server |
| 32 |
as the PDC, and others see the MS SBS as the PDC. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Again, I'm not sure about all this, so use it just as a hint in your |
| 35 |
investigation. |
