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

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.

Hi Elias,

Thanks for your reply. Louis's work is awesome. Many thanks to him!

I forgot to mention that my servers are virtualized and I will take a
snapshot from them before updating. Then I thought about skipping the step
to create a new server. If something goes wrong, I'll revert back the
snapshot.

Thanks
