The space doesn't make any difference '-U Administrator' or
'-UAdministrator' both work, as does '-U administrator' or
'-Uadministrator'

I just wonder where '-U' went ?

I have been looking at the 'Administrator' object that the OP posted.

The failure in his original post was this:

ERROR(ldb): uncaught exception - descriptor_modify on
CN=Administrator,CN=Users,DC=zamecek,DC=home failed: operations error
at ../source4/dsdb/samdb/ldb_modules/descriptor.c:819

lines 816 - 820 in descriptor.c are these:

	objectclass = dsdb_get_last_structural_class(schema,
						     objectclass_element);
	if (objectclass == NULL) {
		return ldb_operr(ldb);
	}

So, it looks like (to me anyway) that it is looking for the objectclass
for 'nTSecurityDescriptor' and trying to match it to the last
objectclass found in the list:

objectClass: top
objectClass: person
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: user
objectClass: posixAccount

I may be barking up the wrong tree here, but I would remove all the
rfc2307 attributes and objectclass from 'Administrator':

objectClass: posixAccount
gidNumber: 1103
uidNumber: 0
loginShell: /bin/bash
unixHomeDirectory: /root

They are definitely not required and could be causing the problem.

Yes, is no difference between '-UAdministrator' and '-U
Administrator'.
But it seems, as ldbsearch in 4.9.5 is different than 4.9.4-.
(I was furious with that, because I found lot articles on net, where
-U _username_ was stated.

My ldbsearch is from pure Samba-4.9.5, self compiled on Fedora 29 x86_64.
And now I see it even has not '-V' switch:

How did you compile Samba ?

You seem to have lost a lot of the options :-)

on Debian 4.9.5, you get this:

ldbsearch --usage

        [--realm=REALM] [-i|--scope=SCOPE] [-m|--maxprotocol=MAXPROTOCOL]
        [-V|--version]

It looks like you have lost these:

        [--reveal] [--relax] [--cross-ncs]
        [--extended-dn] [-d|--debuglevel=DEBUGLEVEL] [--debug-stderr]

I remove these attributes (via
LDB_MODULES_PATH="/usr/lib64/samba/ldb/" ldbedit -e joe  -H
/var/lib/samba/private/sam.ldb -s sub '(CN=Administrator)'
).
I also deleted some orphaned/abandoned SSS words from /etc/nsswitch (Fedora
by default is installed with sssd support, and it seems even when is system
switching to winbind, some sss stuff remain there - concretely:
shadow:     files sss
services:   files sss
netgroup:   sss
automount:  files sss
) - it caused problem, when I tried join other Samba machine (fileserver)
into domain, this SSS parts caused DNS errors as:

[root at lynx samba]# net ads join -U Administrator
Using short domain name -- SSUPS-ZAMECEK
Joined 'LYNX' to dns domain 'zamecek.home'
DNS Update for lynx.zamecek.home failed: ERROR_DNS_INVALID_MESSAGE
DNS update failed: NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL

[root at lynx samba]# net ads join -U Administrator
Using short domain name -- SSUPS-ZAMECEK
Joined 'LYNX' to dns domain 'zamecek.home'
DNS Update for lynx.zamecek.home failed: ERROR_DNS_GSS_ERROR
DNS update failed: NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL

and after removing, all was OK.


_And joind second DC now seems be now finally also good! :

[root at dc2-lynx etc]# samba-tool domain join zamecek.home DC
