Dear, I have three installations of Samba 4, version 4.4.5. Being two DC's and a file server (domain member). I would like to update Samba to the latest version. The current installation was done by compiling the Samba packages. Could someone tell me if I can upgrade directly to the latest version available? Should I compile the new package to overlap the previous version? Thank you!

Sorry for my ignorance. This is the first time I upgrade to Samba. In addition, both DCs are in production. I saw the link you indicated. When you say "Make sure to read the release notes for all the versions you are Skipping over for changes. " Should I pay attention to the settings options that have been changed? Or should I also pay attention to the bugs fixed? Another question: My current version is 4.4.5. Do I need to read the release notes from all versions until the final release? (4.4.6, 4.4.7, 4.4.8 .... 4.6.2) ?? Thank you!

Most important are the major changes listed at the beginning of the RN. Additionally, it's important to know about new/removed/deprecated parameters, and if defaults have been changed. Also the list of bugs that have been fixed may be interesting. Maybe you see that a problem is fixed that affected you. Additionally it's good to know what we fixed, in case you later have related problems. Maybe the fix introduced a regression. For example, the latest release fixes a regression, introduced by a fix in the previous version. Everything in the RN is good to know. That's why we put it there. :-)> Another question: > My current version is 4.4.5. Do I need to read the release notes> > from all versions until the final release? (4.4.6, 4.4.7, > 4.4.8 .... 4.6.2) ?? Read the x.y.0 RN from the major releases + the all for minor versions of the new branch. For example, if you want to switch from 4.4.5 to 4.6.2, read the RN from: - 4.5.0 - 4.6.0 - 4.6.1 - 4.6.2 to know what has been changed between your current and the version you want to install.

Gentlemen, I upgraded my two DCs, from Samba 4.4.5 to 4.6.2. When I check the database, I get the errors below. Could someone help me in this case? # samba-tool dbcheck --cross-ncs --fix --yes Checking 4321 objects ERROR: no target object found for GUID component for msDS-NC-Replica-Locations in object CN=ad07e1ed-d333-4313-9c8f-a448d5713b93,CN=Partitions,CN=Configuration,DC=domain,DC=local - <GUID=131a9292-a035-4679-99f3-8ed3d8d55cd7>;<RMD_ADDTIME=131130557000000000>;<RMD_CHANGETIME=131130557000000000>;<RMD_FLAGS=0>;<RMD_INVOCID=e73a0946-187c-4b95-849a-bbec64ca37c3>;<RMD_LOCAL_USN=4543>;<RMD_ORIGINATING_USN=8161>;<RMD_VERSION=1>;CN=NTDS Settings,CN=SRV13,CN=Servers,CN=Default-First-Site-Name,CN=Sites,CN=Configuration,DC=domain,DC=local Not removing dangling forward link ERROR: no target object found for GUID component for msDS-NC-Replica-Locations in object CN=767b72f5-8965-411a-aab0-c9661556a0d8,CN=Partitions,CN=Configuration,DC=domain,DC=local - <GUID=131a9292-a035-4679-99f3-8ed3d8d55cd7>;<RMD_ADDTIME=131130557000000000>;<RMD_CHANGETIME=131130557000000000>;<RMD_FLAGS=0>;<RMD_INVOCID=e73a0946-187c-4b95-849a-bbec64ca37c3>;<RMD_LOCAL_USN=4541>;<RMD_ORIGINATING_USN=8163>;<RMD_VERSION=1>;CN=NTDS Settings,CN=SRV13,CN=Servers,CN=Default-First-Site-Name,CN=Sites,CN=Configuration,DC=domain,DC=local Not removing dangling forward link Checked 4321 objects (2 errors)
