Um - please correct me if I'm wrong but shutting down the PDC nightly is NOT a recommended Microsoft procedure. Further, if you have a PDC online and you shut it down, the BDC takes over, then relinquishes it back to the PDC when that powers up again. Perhaps you shuld stagger things so that your PDC shuts down while the BDC does not, then when the PDC comes back the BDC shuts down. Seems very odd to me, though, I've never seen a Windows installation where regularly shutting down the PDC or BDC was done. Most time people try everything to _keep_ from shutting them down. (Not that the quality of Microsoft code helps thing much, heh heh) Ted Mittelstaedt tedm@toybox.placo.com Author of: The FreeBSD Corporate Networker's Guide Book website: http://www.freebsd-corp-net-guide.com >-----Original Message----- >From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG >[mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Victor M >Sent: Sunday, June 24, 2001 9:45 AM >To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG >Subject: problem > > >I have a Samba server on my FreeBSD as a member of the NT domain DOM. >I put it into NT domain exactly as this was described in the docs. > 1.
