Hi all, I currently have 5 DC's all running 4.1.5 and would like to upgrade them to 4.1.11. Should I upgrade the FSMO DC first and then the others or perhaps the other way around? Can anyone see any pitfalls here? Also, should I just: 1. stop samba 2. ./conffigure && make && make install 3. restart samba ? I am also planning on switching to BIND_DLZ (currently running Samba Internal DNS). Would it be wise to perform this change before upgrading or vice versa?

To minimize downtime you can configure && make, then stop samba, then make install, then start samba. I don't think it should matter on the order you do them, but I don't know for sure, can any one on the list confirm this? Ricky

The FSMO roles are just a few attributes inside the AD, that defines, which DC(s) are responsible for the 5 different jobs (roles). They doesn't matter when you upgrade.> Can anyone see any pitfalls here?No. There should be nothing special if your current version isn't an early 4.0 or prior 4.0.11/4.1.1. https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Updating_Samba If you want, you can check for errors in your AD: # samba-tool dbcheck --cross-ncs> Also, should I just: > > 1. stop samba > 2. ./conffigure && make && make install > 3. restart sambaYes.> I am also planning on switching to BIND_DLZ (currently running Samba > Internal DNS).

But usually I don't recommend to make two new steps at once, because it could make identifying the reason for problems more difficult ("caused the update your DNS problems or the new backend?"). A guide for the DNS backend switch you find here: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Changing_the_DNS_backend Regards, Marc
