Hi, There are some instructions on the Samba wiki on how to create a lab domain for testing. https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Create_a_samba_lab-domain Thanks, Tim On 28/11/18 9:30 AM, Stefan G.

UNCLASSIFIED Hi Andrew and Roland, I originally installed samba-4.1.7 on CentOS 6.5. I successfully joined the domain. I intended to take over from the 2003 server but because the domain was being heavily used, I delayed seizing the roles. Now I really, really want to replace the 2003 server. The network is currently not in use and I want to complete the job while I have an opportunity. If I

...o replace the 2003 server. The network is currently not in use and I want to complete the job while I have an opportunity. If I have no other option, I will create a new domain, but I'd prefer to avoid having to create new user accounts. How about trying this: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Create_a_samba_lab-domain If that works, then you may be able to try this: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Back_up_and_Restoring_a_Samba_AD_DC an online backup might work against windows, but I suspect you will hit: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13917 If you can apply patches (difficult air-gapped...

...on sam.ldb. Finally, does it happen if you join a new DC to the domain, or only on your upgraded DC? If it does happen on a joined DC, and you can create a new lab domain and reproduce it there it would be awesome, and give us a safe place to test more theories: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Create_a_samba_lab-domain In particular, if you could join older versions of Samba to that lab domain, and perform a bisect to find where this was broken, this would be awesome. If you could do a git bisect down to the commit that would be even better, if that is within your capability. If for some reason rejoini...
