I've been looking at the Sambawiki for notes on upgrading (https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Upgrading_a_Samba_AD_DC) The way I read it it is suggested to uninstall samba completely and then essentially re-installing. That seems like a Murphy's Law disaster (with my luck) waiting to happen. Is "upgrading "in-place" a realistic option?

Hi, I want to upgrade samba 4.8.2 to samba 4.10.7. According to here: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Upgrading_a_Samba_AD_DC#Rejoining_the_upgraded_DC best way is to rejoin the server after the upgrade. But also I need to upgrade the OS, in my case it means a new installation from the OS, because an upgrade is not possible, the old and the new version are to different. Can I do this the same way as described in the sam...

And (re)joining is not recommended ? There are so many services and computers connected to the samba server, which are not in my hand. Means after I upgraded all our 5 ADs I would have to inform many people about the new name and IP. Thanks

Hi, I'm making tests to migrate our actual 4.4.5 to a latest versions and add a second dc. I have added a second dc with 4.10.7 and seems to work fine, now I have 4.4.5 with fsmo roles and a second dn with 4.10.7, but reading wiki https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Upgrading_a_Samba_AD_DC seems that since latest days some changes about steps to upgrade, now seems that is recommended to us in-place for 4.4.5 ---- Update one Samba AD DC that does not hold any flexible single master operations (FSMO) role, or else the DC with the least roles. For upgrading to a new release, most user...

Roland, Thank you for your answers. To be clear, everything will be Bookworm when I'm done. My question about upgrading a new DC rather than upgrading old ones is the "Upgrade a DC and join it to the domain again" process here: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Upgrading_a_Samba_AD_DC, right? You said it "raises the RID pools." I don't know what that means. But, the webpage suggests this process when upgrading between major versions. You disagree? If you still suggest the in-place upgrade process, do you expect things to work while, temporarily, one DC is runn...

Dear all, will it be possible to upgrade/update an existing samba 4.17.10 domain to samba 4.19 ? What are the points to pay attention to!? Greetings Daniel

...e docu "Rejoining the upgraded DC" ? > There is nothing mentioned, that a new name is necessary. > Is it because I install a new OS and so I start from scratch ? A new name is not necessary, which is why this requirement is not documented. The page https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Upgrading_a_Samba_AD_DC was written by Garming and Tim as Samba AD DC developers because this information was not clear in the past. At Catalyst we regularly get our commercial clients asking about the right way to upgrade so Tim and Garming put some time into documenting it for everyone. I'm sorry you get conflict...
