There is good reason to go to the latest Samba 4.16 as we have some
improved code to cope with replications from older servers in that new
version (I wrote that only a few months ago and it got backported to
the latest Samba 4.16).

This is for replication with DRS, eg joining a new DC to the domain.

Thx, Andrew and Rowland seem awesome the new version of samba.
Already installed samba 4.16 from the backports on Debian 11.

I didn't touch anything, only Installed It.Version 4.16.6-Debian

Now is time to migrate from 4.1 to 4.16

The production machine is a Debian 7 with Samba 4.1 working OK.

The new server is a Debian 11 with Samba 4.16.6-Debian, without any setup
or configuration.
root at titan:~# samba -V
Version 4.16.6-Debian
root at titan:~# service samba-ad-dc status
? samba-ad-dc.service
     Loaded: masked (Reason: Unit samba-ad-dc.service is masked.)
     Active: inactive (dead)

Need some tips to start the migration.

For now both servers are in the same network but i can separate them if
necessary.

Thx in advance.
