samba - Mar 2018 - NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED Joining Domain - Desperately need help - [SOLVED]

I am desperately in need of help. I have a Centos 7.2 server running Samba
4.6.13 as an active directory domain controller. I am trying to join a new
Centos 7.4 server running Samba 4.6.13 to the domain. The domain command will
not connect to the other server.

I have firewalld and selinux disabled on both servers, I can ping both ways.
From the new server I was able to do a kinit -U administrator and get a kerberos
ticket which shows with a klist, however when I go to join the domain, I get:

ERROR(ldb): uncaught exception - LDAP client internal error:
NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/samba/netcmd/__init__.py",

connect
options=options) 

I have been unable to find any details in the logs on the existing server when I
run this command.

The join command I'm using is: 

samba-tool domain join redacteddomain.redacted.com DC
-U"REDACTEDDOMAIN\administrator" --dns-backend=SAMBA_DLZ
--option='idmap_ldb:use rfc2307 = yes' -d 10

How this problem started: 
I originally had two domain controllers, both of which were running Samba 4.5. I
was troubleshooting a time sync issue between Windows 10 workstations and the
server that appeared to come from a bug in the older Samba 4.5 version. I update
the secondary domain controller to Samba 4.6.13 and that appeared to go fine, so
I switched over to the primary domain controller and tried to upgrade it to
4.6.13. Something went wrong, and users were no longer able to access the
domain. I switched to the backup domain controller and promoted it to primary
and all was well again, so I took the original primary off-line and tried to
solve the issue. After taking the old primary off-line, DNS stopped resolving
for the network. Things get a bit murky at this part because my phone was runing
off the hook, but I managed to wipe out the /var/lib/samba/private folder from
one of the servers. Since my backups were of the old 4.5 database versions and I
was unable to roll back the Samba version, I had to copy the
/var/lib/samba/private folder from one server to the other, then remove the
server entries for the non-working server.

After that point I had to go into each machine on the network and re-join the
domain because the trust relationships were no longer valid. (A domain SID
changed somewhere along the way.) All but 5 machines were able to rejoin the
network, and then suddenly no more could join.

An additional issue is that if I do a samba_dnsupdate --verbose on the
"working" server, it completes with no errors. However if I do a
samba_dnsupdate --verbose --all-names I receive a ton of "TKEY
Unacceptable" messages. I have worked through all the options on the
wiki.samba.org "TKEY is Unacceptable" page and have not made any
progress.



I've got about 60 hours into troubleshooting this problem in the last 4 days
and I am banging my head against a wall here. I can't seem to find anything
on google about "join" returning the NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED
error, just smbclient connect attempts, and have exhausted every result returned
by google on the TKEY problem.

Does anyone have any ideas? 

Here's the extended debugging from the join command:

I don't know what your original problem was, but you made it a
magnitude times worse when you copied /var/lib/samba/private from one
DC to another. Whilst DCs replicate between one another, not everything
is replicated and some things are specific to each DC.

Do you have a backup of the original 4.5 DC that held all the FSMO
roles (note, you didn't have a primary domain controller or a secondary
domain controller or a backup domain controller, you just had DCs. All
DCs are equal except for the FSMO roles). If you do have this backup, I
would suggest you turn off all your DCS and reinstall the DC from the
backup and start again.

Not much more I can say outside of what Rowland has suggested. I did 
find this interesting with regards to your DNS problems.

getlmhostsent: lmhost entry: 127.0.0.1 localhost
getlmhostsent: lmhost entry: 10.10.11.4 old-dc.redacteddomain.redacted.com

I wouldn't normally expect to see lmhost entries unless explicitly 
created. I would allow DNS to find your domain.

Found the solution shortly after I sent this e-mail.  Needed to add "tls 
enabled = no" to the working server to get the other server to restore 
functionality.

WARNING-FRAUDULENT FUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

Email hacking and fraud are on the rise to fraudulently misdirect funds. Please
call your escrow officer immediately using contract information found from an
independent source, such as the sales contract or internet, to verify any
funding instructions received. We are not responsible for any wires sent by you
to an incorrect bank account.

I have never had to add that line to any DC to get another DC to join,
come to think of it, I have never had to add that line at all.

I still stand by what I posted earlier, copying /var/lib/samba to
another DC is not a good idea.
