samba - Jan 2014 - Replication errors (WERR_DS_DRA_SCHEMA_MISMATCH)

Hello,

I'm getting replication errors of this type on the Samba (version 4.1.4) 
server (name=Roquefort):

##### #############################
ERROR(<class 'samba.drs_utils.drsException'>): DsReplicaSync

I seem to be able to replicate from Windows2008R2 servers to Samba4... 
but not the other way around.

Anyone have a clue?

Thanks!

Hello Folks,

I finally found what was causing replication errors using this command:

samba-tool ldapcmp ldap://stilton ldap://roquefort domain

A computer account had part of an SPN in lowercase on one DC (Samba 4.1.7) and
the other in uppercase (Windows2008R2-SP1):

TERMSRV/emmental.gigl.polymtl.ca

TERMSRV/EMMENTAL.gigl.polymtl.ca

The offending SPN entry was deleted with this command:

samba-tool spn delete TERMSRV/emmental.gigl.polymtl.ca emmental$

Now replication proceeds without any problems...

My question is:  How the heck did this happen in the first place?  Is this a
bug?

Thank You!
