PDC/BDC problemo

[piwozniak]

Hi

So, i got 3 spanking new (well, one of them is actually older G4) Xserves, with fresh and clean install of the newest and greatest 10.4.6…
All works just great ….. except… PDC/BDC combo.

here’s the setup:
xserve1 – dhcp/firewall/vpn/NAT/software update server. Connected to directory system
xserve2 – 2nd DNS box/OD Master/PDC for samba.
xserve3 – 3rd DNS box/OD Replica (working 🙂 )/BDC for samba/share points

When xserve2 goes under, in theory my users should be able to log in using xserve3. Now all the macs can, but Windows clients can’t login using BDC.

Apple support is out of the question, as they consider it an "advanced setup" and as such is not covered by premium support agreement (……).

Any pointers? Ideas?

OD Master/Replica are synchronized all computer accounts/users exist on BDC, yet Windows gives me "computer account not present or username/pass incorrect".
