Hello all, I'm always trying to migrate from W2000 server to Samba 4. For doing this, I tried this : - install a W2003 server with AD and DNS services, join it to W2000, transfer roles and after demote the old W2000 -> done - install a Sernet Samba4 with Bind9, join W2003, transfer roles -> done At this point the sync process is working in two way, I can manage DNS and AD with rsat tool even directly on the Samba4 server... Which was hard to do this to work properly! ;) Now I can't demote the W2003 server, the only way I find is to use "dcpromo.exe /froceremoval" command... ( the alone "dcpromo.exe" command don't work... ) But now Samba4 always trying to contact the w2003 server and I can't clean the dns and active directory, I've some error for example in "domain controllers" section of the AD... if I try "samba-tool domain level raise --domain-level=2008_R2" I read "ERROR: Domain function level can't be higher than the lowest function level of a DC!" So how to do a clean demote process even manualy? ( I can't set up a fresh new AD because I have too many users profile to move...) Thanks for helping! :) Samuel
