Hi, I have a Samba domain which currently has 4 DC's. I am in the process of trying to remove the old 4.8.12 self compiled DC's and ultimately replace them with (2) 4.12.8 DC's on Buster with samba from the VanBelle repo. Due to an error in my apt configuration I currently have 2 4.11.14 DC's running on Buster. If I try to transfer the roles from one of the 4.8.12 DC's to one of the 4.11.14 DC's it fails with the following: (vdc3 pts2) # samba-tool fsmo transfer --role=infrastructure ERROR: Transfer of 'infrastructure' role failed: Failed FSMO transfer: NT_STATUS_IO_TIMEOUT (vdc3 pts2) If I try to transfer the roles to the other 4.8.12 DC the roles transfers as expected. Does anyone have any idea why the roles will not transfer to the 4.11.14 DC or how to troubleshoot this problem? Is going from 4.8.12 to 4.11.14 to large of a jump? If yes what steps do I need to take? Regards, -- Tom me at tdiehl.org

Try seizing the role on the computer you want it on (but use --force or it will try to transfer it it first) Rowland

I can ping any of the dc's from any other DC using either a hostname or fqdn.> > Try seizing the role on the computer you want it on (but use --force or it > will try to transfer it it first)But if I seize the roles doesn't that kill the DC that had the roles? I am not ready to take the old DC offline. Regards, -- Tom me at tdiehl.org
