I have 2 sites. Site B has a BDC for a domain, and the Netapp. Site A connected via T1 has the PDC.
When I try to run CIFS setup, it gets to the part about needing to reach the PDC and can't find it, so it aborts.
I'm not sure why it can't just do whatever it needs to do with the BDC right there (running WINS)...
Perhaps I need to add some key to WINS for the netapp to see it?
Is the PDC registering with the same WINS ? Hopefully yes. We do need PDC for installation.If this is ONTAP 5.1 or later ,you can run cifs testdc command with the following options to troubleshoot.
cifs testdc <wins_ip> <domain_name> <filer_name>

The PDC is not IP reachable from the filer. The filer is on a private backbone, serving NFS/CIFS clients off secondary ethernet interfaces.
The BDC happens to be one of those clients.
And it has 2 interfaces...
