No, each server is a vm on its own host, 2 different hosts but assigned to the same physical (not logical) subnet… I’m not completely crazy.
I’ll work on that, as I recall from yesterday, there was nothing to be found.
Is there an answer to my original question? How can I easily verify the administrator account and its password… I’m guessing the server wouldn’t work at all if there was an issue with the account.
I joined second NethServer to AD/DC NethServer by making the DNS server on the second NethServer pointing to the IP address of the Samba directory and not the IP address of main NethServer.
Main NethServer - 192.168.2.100
Samba AD/DC Nethserver - 192.168.2.101
Second NethServer - 192.168.2.102
DNS of the Second NethServer - 192.168.2.101
I’m firing off another unattended rc install while I have to diddle around in some meetings and then I’m going to set it up as samba dc fresh to try again.
In order for the second server to auto receive new Users and Groups I used the second server IP address as the first DNS for the first server. I think you have do the same thing with Microsoft AD Servers and Samba AD Servers.
I wondered that exact thing, so I created a user right after, it took less than 2 minutes for that user to show up without doing or changing anything else.
I must haven’t given enough time to change. I installed another domain member and without changing the DNS servers, it applied all of the new users and groups that I added on the domain server.
However, the domain member still shows the users and groups I deleted on the domain server, but they are not showing on Active Directory Users and Groups, and I can not logon with a deleted user (that’s good).
