samba - Oct 2012 - Re-replicate LDAP

I currently have 10 domain controllers (all Samba 4rc1), and I would like to
"reset" one of them.

I would like to completely clear out their LDAP database, and force it to get a
fresh copy replicated from one of the other 9 DC's out there.

What would be the proper way of doing this with Samba 4? I know in Windows, you
can demote a DC, and then promote it, and it will recover any data, but am
unsure of how to replicate that procedure with S4.

Hello Kristofer,

I guess you can achieve the same with:

samba-tool domain demote -Uadministrator

afterwards you can join the DC again.
