Thanks for your response.

I'm using Centos7 as AD server.
At this time I'm trying to compile another server with Ubuntu 22.04 and 
Samba 4.20.1. I'm thinking to merge it as an AD on current domain.
If this runs I'll try to move FSMO from old to new.
Finally I'll demote old one.
Hope this will run and solve the issue.

Regarding support, I checked samba.org page for companies in Spain. As 
anyone gives me reply, I started to locate other companies worldwide.
At this time I sent a request to another one (waiting for reply). It 
will be useful if you can give me some choices. Better to be on a 
similar time zone to be available at same time.

Thanks a lot.

Can I suggest Debian bookworm with Samba from backports instead, this
will get you a very recent version of Samba.

Worth trying, but if it does fail, then we need any and all error
messages to try and help you.

All I can suggest is that you try some of the local countries, perhaps
Sernet in Germany.
