Indeed, we intend to upgrade to 4.11. I'll let you know what happens then.
What would you recommend to upgrade two active DCs?

As we are going to perform an OS upgrade too (ubunu18 => ubuntu20), can we just stop samba services, upgrade packages and OS then relaunch samba, or do we have to demote ...

Hi, we use a quite old packaged version of Samba (4.7.6) from ubuntu18 repositories.
The dbcheck have been allready done in fix mode.

What do you mean by downgrade? Nothing has changed, the new dc which was joined had same samba version.

Hello,

Having encountered quite a few problems with replication topologies, I switched back to a more conventional platform, Ubuntu 18 and Samba 4.7.6...

Hello,

I'm currently trying to install your Samba 4.8.5 version on Red Hat 7 systems from your CentOS repositories.
I've resolved some dependency issues, but I'm stuck on one last problem:


---> The package samba.x86_64 0:4.8.5-0.0.el7 will be installed

Hello,

I'm replying to myself. I solved the problem, which apparently stemmed from the fact that the password had never been changed on the Samba4 side. Once the passwords were changed for a few test users, it worked.
I was then able to test password synchronization from Samba4...

Hello,

I just tested the script on a Samba4 4.5.12 (Debian Stretch) system, and I'm getting the following error in the syslog, which I don't know how to interpret.
