The existing Samba KCC uses a fully +connected graph, so that each DC replicates from all the others, which +does not scale well with large networks. In 4.3 there is an +experimental new KCC that creates a sparsely connected replication +graph and closely follows Microsoft's specification. It is turned off +by default. To use the new KCC, set "kccsrv:samba_kcc=true" in +smb.conf and let us know how it goes. You should consider doing this +if you are making a large new network. For small networks there is +little benefit and you can always switch over at a later date. + + ###################################################################### Changes ####### |
