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

Rowland, are you an AI ?

You keep asking the same useless question to everybody

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

even if the question is clear, I am trying NOT to have the above error 
when running dcdiag

and .... you know thet dcdiag is a win command and applies to AD DC 
contollers, right ?

and ... you know that samba-regedit works on samba, right ?

if you do not know the answer to the question, ok, no problem, just say so

Thank you

I only ask what you see as useless questions, when people ask questions
without any real content and/or context.

You know how you are using Samba, I do not have a clue, because I do
not have a crystal ball.

Yes, I do know that samba-regedit works on Linux, so presumably your
'what-ever-it-is' Samba is using 'config backend = registry' or
'include = registry' in its smb.conf file.

You still haven't answered that question, how are you running Samba ?
It is probably relevant.

No I do not know the answer to that question, because there isn't
anything to work with, there is no context. It may be, as I said, that
it doesn't work with Samba because Samba does not have the code to make
it work, but there may be a workaround.

From looking at your Windows command, you appear to to be trying to
diagnose a problem on your DC called 'vdce' using Windows tools, if
'vdce' is a Samba DC, then I suggest you use the Samba tools instead
e.g. samba-tool.
