samba - Oct 2024 - Problem with a domain controller that is located in a separate site

Hello Samba Community I have a question regarding naming contexts
replicated between domain controllers, the following situation assumes that
there is a domain controller based on Windows 2012R2, we enter into this
domain, a domain controller based on Samba 4.20 in a separate site, in
which there are no additional domain controllers, and then I observe that
from the Samba side the RepsTo naming contexts are not set when I view them
through samba-tool drs showrepl even after a long time, but the replication
seems to work? If anyone has additional information on how Samba
replication works when it is alone on a separate site, I would be grateful

I think this is because it is a single DC in a site, from my
understanding (which to be honest is limited here), repTo is one of the
unreplicated attributes and shows the local DC the DC would replicate
to and as there isn't another 'local' DC, the attribute doesn't
get
populated.
