Hi there.
I have two samba servers, let's say srv01 and srv02. For that matter, both are Zentyal Server 4 and 8, respectively.
In the srv01 there is samba version 4.1, which is in the network 182.168.200.0/24, and which is by the way also the gateway to both network.
In the srv02 there is samba version 4.15, which is in the DMZ network 10.10.100.0/24
The first is an additional controller for the second.
Everything is working fine, except for machine sync.
Let me explain:
- Between these two samba servers, I have a Windows 2022 server. I was able to put Windows 2022 in the samba domain without any problems, which was a bit of surprise to me, since I always used to install SMB1v and SMB2v, first and then add the Windows server into the samba domain.
- I can log in into the Windows 2022 server using the domain account created in the server with samba 4.15
- In fact users created in both samba servers appear on both servers.
- With pdbedit --list I can see the following:
srv01:
pdbedit --list
...
...
SRV01$:4294967295:SRV01$
SRV02$:4294967295:
WINSRV01$:4294967295:
srv02:
pdbedit --list
...
...
SRV01$:3000020:SRV01$
SRV02$:3000022:

As you can see, the windows 2022 server was added in the srv01, which has samba 4.1.17 and does not appear in srv02, which has samba 4.15.13.
Based on that, I wonder if this is something to do with these different versions, before I seek some help with the Zentyal guys.
And I wonder if there is any way to force a sync between the two samba servers, in regard to the samba machines account.

Thanks in advance.

Hi
It turns out that the DHCP was misconfigured since it sent the wrong DNS server, the gateway one not the main samba server.
After changing it, now everything is working fine.

Thanks.
