Hi all,
I am consistently getting the error:
root at dc2:~# samba-tool domain demote -Uadministrator
Using dc1.microlynx.com as partner server for the demotion
Password for [MICROLYNX\administrator]:
Deactivating inbound replication
Asking partner server dc1.microlynx.com to synchronize from us
Changing userControl and container
ERROR(<type 'exceptions.TypeError'>): uncaught exception -
remove_sysvol_references() takes exactly 3 arguments (2 given)

remove_dc.remove_sysvol_references(remote_samdb, dc_name)
root at dc2:~#
Samba version is 4.4.0 running on Debian Jessie. Replication was working OK
before the demotion attempt as was SysVol replication
and samba-tool ntacl sysvolcheck produced no errors. All 7 FSMO roles reside
on dc1.
Was able to remove the DC by using the --remove-other-dead-server option.
Any ideas how to troubleshoot this problem?
Thanks,

Can you create a bug report at: https://bugzilla.samba.org/ I will then create a patch. Rowland
