Active Directory BDC/slave role

I was talking about the “BDC” concept with one of my business partners today. Samba needs the sysvol replication to get a multi-dc setup working out-of-the-box. https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/SysVol_replication_(DFS-R) What could be done at the moment is implementing the Samba DC role with a sysvol replication workaround. With a such new feature we can build an AD domain with one “master” DC (already implemented) and multiple, additional read-only “slave” DCs. What do you think?

I started working on it this week!

I’m also experimenting an alternative approach to running nsdc in a systemd-nspawn container that leverages the bare Linux namespaces.
