samba - Aug 2025 - Invalid service type: NETLOGON on VDCE, current value WIN32_OWN_PROCESS, expected value WIN32_SHARE_PROCESS

Good morning everybody

this is samba Version 4.22.2-Debian-4.22.2+dfsg-1~bpo12+1

Invalid service startup type: NETLOGON on VDCE, current value 
DEMAND_START, expected value AUTO_START

the above "errors" appears by doing

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> .\dcdiag.exe /s:vdce /q

I did try to use samba-regedit to adjust

/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/Netlogon/Start and 
Type

but ... it is not clear if and how I can change the current default values

Start=2

Type=16

Is there a value for start and type that will make the above dcdiag 
errors disappear AND have a working samba ?

Thank you all for any help

Yes, but what are you doing with it ?
How are you running Samba ?

That is a Windows command, so you could be trying to do something that
Samba does not understand.
Just what are you trying to achieve ?

You are running a Windows command (presumably on Windows), yet you seem
to be trying to fix the problem on Linux, have you tried editing the
register on the Windows machine ?

You probably do have a working Samba, Though it may not be able to do
what you are trying to do, there may just be no code for it.
