Hi all, I am consistently getting the error: root at dc2:~# samba-tool domain demote -Uadministrator Using dc1.microlynx.com as partner server for the demotion Password for [MICROLYNX\administrator]: Deactivating inbound replication Asking partner server dc1.microlynx.com to synchronize from us Changing userControl and container ERROR(<type 'exceptions.TypeError'>): uncaught exception - remove_sysvol_references() takes exactly 3 arguments (2 given) File "/usr/local/samba/lib/python2.7/site-packages/samba/netcmd/__init__.py", line 175, in _run return self.run(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/local/samba/lib/python2.7/site-packages/samba/netcmd/domain.py", line 943, in run remove_dc.remove_sysvol_references(remote_samdb, dc_name) root at dc2:~# Samba version is 4.4.0 running on Debian Jessie. Replication was working OK before the demotion attempt as was SysVol replication and samba-tool ntacl sysvolcheck produced no errors. All 7 FSMO roles reside on dc1. Was able to remove the DC by using the --remove-other-dead-server option. Any ideas how to troubleshoot this problem? Thanks, spindles7
