samba - Mar 2012 - samba4: problems setting up win DC

Hi,

I had a simple domain under samba 3.5, but because of our company's 
complex structure, management made a call to move to win2k8 
infrastructure. And my task is to do this migration seamlessly as possible.
My plan was to upgrade to samba4, then to add win2008 DC, transfer FSMO 
roles, then demote samba server and shut it down. However, i run into 
some troubles i couldn't solve...
I successfully upgraded to samba4 (just followed howto article from 
official documentation) - DNS created, no errors in samba log, machines 
and users successfully logging in, etc; without any troubles i joined 
w2008 machine, used dcpromo to promote it to DC (dns records 
successfully updated), everything went fine, even fmso transfer works 
without errors.
But here's the trouble - this new win DC isn't starting SYSVOL and 
NETLOGON shares, in event log it states only "eventid 13565", no other
errors. Of course, without this shares this DC isn't operational and 
when i shutdown samba machine - domain stops working.
I tried MS kb290762 and Q312862 without any success, there are even no 
ldap objects, mentioned in articles ("cn=domain system volume (sysvol 
share),cn=file replication service,cn=system,dc=domain,dc=ru";
"cn=file
replication service" is empty). I even tried to set up w2003 DC first, 
but with same result.

Any tips how to solve this problems? Or, perhaps, any other way to 
transfer all my users&comps to new win domain without need to manually 
unjoin&join each comp, transfer user's profiles, etc ?

try this.

Manually create System Volume Author: Internal 

Copy the system volume from another domain controller (or restore from backup if
none is available), then set the following registry value:

Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters

Value to set: Sysvolready = 1

Then restart the netlogon service and check again for the NETLOGON and SYSVOL
shares. they should now appear.


Greetz, 

Louis
