If you do decide to go down the new domain route, can I make a few suggestions ? Use the latest Debian and use Samba from bookworm-backports, which will get you Samba 4.18.6.

[Samba] Problems with Samba as an AD and named
Hi Rowland, ok. I wouldn't mind doung the new domain route. BUT: 1.) as I have 3 kids waiting here - I do not have time2.) as I said - I just have one Laptop where the AD is now running and if not really really necessary, I do not want to waste money and time just for searching, buying and replacing what I have That said - I would prefer I fast solution with fixing what went wrong and afterwards with time make the changes to a new system.Otherwise I also can make the change - if all what is now in the AD could be exported. So that what now is configured is not lost (because of point 1. - I do not have plenty of time to wait until all works again) I think one question could be clearified before making all the effort would be - Is the DNS Server accidentially running (or not running now) and all the information is in another site (the AD), if so - how is it to switch back to that information so that the DC is asking itself and answering correct. Thanks - and good night for today...Matthias Am Freitag, 15.
