[Samba] ERROR: Transfer of 'pdc' role failed: Failed FSMO transfer: WERR_GEN_FAILURE
Hi, I transferred FSMO roles between two DCs for the first time (in the course of version upgrade from 4.12 to 4.13 including DC demote). I did it twice (once transferring to 4.13 from 4.12, once between all 4.13). In both cases I got an error when transferring the PDC role: # samba-tool fsmo transfer --role=pdc ERROR: Transfer of 'pdc' role failed: Failed FSMO transfer: WERR_GEN_FAILURE The transfer actually seems to succeed (when checking "samba-tool fsmo show" afterwards). In logs of "losing" DC I see: [2021/01/22 14:30:44.080710, 0] ../../source4/rpc_server/drsuapi/getncchanges.c:1413(getncchanges_change_master) ../../source4/rpc_server/drsuapi/getncchanges.c:1413: FSMO role or RID manager transfer owner request when not role owner I'm not 100% sure this is from PDC role transfer, could theoretically also be from other (succeeding) transfers. Samba packages are from Sernet, OS is CentOS 8. Why is this? Do I have to worry? thx Matthias
