Univention Bugzilla – Bug 49952
Netlogon replication should be described in more detail
Last modified: 2024-04-17 13:19:10 CEST
The description how the netlogon replication is working is decibed in the documentation with this sentence. The NETLOGON share is replicated within the scope of the SYSVOL replication. Looking for more detail in the sysvol replication description i just found: The SYSVOL share is a share which provides group policies and logon scripts in Active Directory / Samba 4. It is synchronized among all domain controllers and stored in the /var/lib/samba/sysvol/ directory. In Microsoft Active Directory, the SYSVOL share is synchronized by the File Replication Service (introduced with Windows 2000) or the Distributed File System (as of Windows 2008 R2). These replication methods are not yet fully implemented in Samba 4. The synchronization between the Samba 4 domain controllers is performed in UCS via a Cron job (every five minutes as standard - can be configured using the Univention Configuration Registry variable samba4/sysvol/sync/cron). We have some more ucr variables by now, and we should describe the restrictions of the synchronization
