samba - Jul 2021 - Upgrade Samba 4.12.6 to latest stable version.

Hello,

I have two (Debian Buster 10.5) Samba4 (4.12.6) working as my domain
controllers and I am wondering to upgrade them to the latest stable Debian
and Samba 4.

I have being using Van Belle's repo (http://apt.van-belle.nl/debian
buster-samba412). I have read the notes about upgrades, read the
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_Features_added/changed_(by_release)
and everything seems to be in order.

I would like to know if there is any tips or advice or can I just point to
Van Belle's repo (deb http://apt.van-belle.nl/debian buster-samba414)  and
execute the apt update and apt upgrade command.

My smb.conf is very basic with the default parameters.

Thanks and best regards.

hello,

I have been using Louis' repo for a long time and have never had any
problems.

A good practice you can do is:

- configure a new machine
- join this new machine to the existing AD
- test everything
- transfer the FSMO roles to the new machine

After that you can update the old ones and if any errors occur you have the
new machine intact.
