Hi samba list, accroding to samba wiki, https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Joining_a_Windows_Server_2012_/_2012_R2_DC_to_a_Samba_AD Windows server 2012 R2 can't join to samba AD directly. I need to join a windows server 2018 R2 to samba AD first and then join windows server 2012 R2 to samba AD. but a searched for a document. https://samba.tranquil.it/doc/en/samba_advanced_methods/samba_add_windows_active_directory.html In that document, we can join windows server 2012 R2 to samba directly. Which document is more reliable? My samba version is 4.15.6.

My samba version is 4.15.6.Why not try it? If it works, update the wiki. ? It's the weekend, so this is just from memory, but while we did a pile of work on our 'adprep' reimplementation (using the public script files MS published, thanks MS!), to allow this, and before that recommended going via a MS server to run their adprep, Microsoft fixed some bugs we alerted them to. That I understand now allows a join directly.
