...a few discussions on the list that it is currently not possible to remove an AD DC using samba-tool because it does not delete all the FSMO roles. Can Windows tools be used to remove the DCs properly? The Samba Wiki page https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Flexible_Single-Master_Operations_(FSMO)_roles#FSMO_role_management_using_the_Windows_GUI has a reference to using Windows tools to manage the FSMO roles, but the referenced page only says that are 5 roles. Does following this procedure to move the roles actually transfer all 7 roles? Is there some other way to properly remove and AD DC us...

Except you need to use different tools to apply them...

Hi everyone, Apologies in advance, this will be a bit long but I'm hoping to get some guidance and hints on usual practices for using Samba4 AD DC as an Idm for W10 laptops that might be on the road elsewhere.. As much as I have been using samba for file serving, a Samba AD DC is something new to me. I built a small Samba AD DC infrastructure to serve UIDs and Passwords (4 VMs on 4 KVM

SOGo/Openchange is not willing i f it is not holding the fsmo roles. And by the way in an multiple DC replicating environment you can kill your domain on the fly even with a real "Exchange-Server" if you are not carefull enough.
