samba - Nov 2016 - 4.5.0 as AD, missing replication links

Hi all,

I'm missing some replication links between some DCs in "Active
Directory
Sites and Services" management console. This MSC provides tools to create
manually these links or I expect it is able to do, I did not tried as I'm
not yet sure enough of what I would have to do exactly.

For now all present links are named (rough translation) "automatically
generated".

Does Samba provides some tools to recreate these missing links?

What version of Samba are you running? I believe ver. 4.5 and up enables 
the new KCC. Do you want a full mesh with respect to replication links?

Sorry Mathias didn't see your version in the subject. You are using the 
new KCC. If you want a full mesh you can disable it in your smb.conf

kccsrv:samba_kcc=false

Hi,

Do you have some link to explain what are the difference between new and
old KCC?

Is it the old one do not respect "NTDS Settings" links in "Active
Directory
Sites and Services" console and force replication between every DC?

If yes new KCC would rely on what is defined into each server's "NTDS
Settings", is it?
