samba - Jun 2024 - Users appears as SID instead of their own name.

Hello Rowland.

You're right. I have to upgrade my current version. But I have tried to 
do it with same server and with a new one without success.
For first trial I tried to compile new version but it doesn't.
For the second one I've tried to add a DC to the domain to, after this, 
move AD primary role to new one, but another time no success.

I tried to contact some spanish company to give me support on this 
process but one of two companies listed on samba.org does not exist and 
the second one can not help me until 2025!

I'm searching? someone (company or freelancer) that could help me on 
this process.

Any help will be welcome.

What OS are you using ?
It may help if you try upgrading in stages, try moving to 4.8.0 first ,
if I remember correctly there were some fixes that went in at that
version to do with upgrading older versions.

Lots of support out there, doesn't have to be Spanish.
