Hi I upgraded my samba 4 DC running on Ubuntu 12.04 from 4.6.7 to 4.6.10 sernet samba package. apt-get update apt-get upgrade sernet-samba While downloading the new package the internet went down and it stopped so later when the connection was restored I started it again with ap-get upgrade sernet-samba and it started again. Now after rebooting the server the sernet-samba-ad service is not running and failing with error SAMBA NOT CONFIGURED AS DC. The testparm command is giving an error /var/run/samba pid missing so I have copied the folder from another running DC running 4.7.1. Please help to resolve the problem. This is a main DC and I have still not transferred the FSMO rules to the new 4.7.1 server. Thanks n Regards Harsh Sent from my iPhone
Hi, In the sernet packages, the DC packages are called sernet-samba-ad I think. So perhaps you need to run something like: apt-get upgrade sernet-samba-ad (or even apt-get install sernet-samba-ad) But SAMBA NOT CONFIGURED AS DC means that the smb.conf is not for a DC, and you say the machine was a DC. Not sure how an apt-get upgrade could have caused this...

If all else fails and because you seem to have other DCs, turn off the DC, seize the FSMO roles to another DC, forcibly demote the dead DC. Re-install the OS on the old DC, do not use the old DCs ipaddress or hostname. Now install Samba and join it to the domain as another DC Rowland
The upgrade shouldn't have touched the Samba database, just the
binaries etc, so check the smb.conf file and recreate it if you cannot
find it, or if it is incorrect.
The smb.conf still exists

Please help with the commands to seize the FSMO roles to another DC and
forcibly demote the dead DC.
