Hi all, I recently migrated our samba 3 domain to an AD domain using Samba 4 classic upgrade tool. Well, every seems to work fine since i'm still alive ;) . I promoted a Windows 2k8 box as a new DC of this domain and I transfer the 5 FSMO roles to it. Now I would like to demote the Samba4 DC but when I tried I got this message : # samba-tool domain demote ERROR: Current DC is still the owner of 2 role(s), use the role command to transfer roles to another DC When check the fsmo roles status via "samba-tool fsmo show" it confirms that the Samba 4 DC doesn't own anything. How can I manage to demote the Samba 4 box ? Best regards, Davy. -- Davy HUBERT DSI/SMI - Unit? Syst?mes Universit? Paul-Val?ry, Montpellier 3 davy.hubert at univ-montp3.fr

The roles can be seized from there.
