Dear All, I've read https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Flexible_Single-Master_Operations_(FSMO)_roles Under section https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Flexible_Single-Master_Operations_(FSMO)_roles#How_to_handle_situations_where_a_DC_with_FSMO_roles_is_offline Let assume that DC1 is take all the roles... It tell that we should put the fail DC1 back online and do the role transfer... But below

Hello Paul, Am 24.01.2015 um 16:38 schrieb Paul Littlefield: > What is the correct way to change DC1 to a virtual machine? One way is to join the new virtual DC to the domain, transfer the FSMO roles from DC1 to the new one and demote DC1. But then your new DC has a new name, of course. And we currently have a bug, that not all roles are transfered, even if samba-tools says

Hello, I wrote a major extension of the FSMO documentation: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Flexible_Single-Master_Operations_%28FSMO%29_roles We often had questions on the list about the FSMO roles and the consequences, when DCs owning roles are offline. I hope this will be a good reference. Regards, Marc

https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Flexible_Single-Master_Operations_%28FSMO%29_roles#Transfering_a_FSMO_role I ran into that while trying to rebuild my LXC's as Debian 8. The proposed work arrounds assume you have access to a Windows Domain controller in your domain, and I don't. Is there anything else I can do to get all 7 Roles moved to my other domain controller so I can rebuild it?

It finally happened, a DC is down and I am trying to figure out what to do now. The LSI RAID card is dead (it actually caught fire briefly) and I obviously cannot boot the system until the replacement arrives. I do have a second Samba DC on the domain, but what I am seeing is that it runs like Server 2000 for some reason. It is acting like a backup DC, not a normal DC like 2008 and 2003. I

Either that, or just create a new VM on your OS of choice and join it to the existing domain as a new DC. Claim all the FSMO roles, and shut your old DC down. It will have a new name and

If you have shutdown Samba on the DC, you don't need the backup-script. This script just create hot-backups, so you don't have to shutdown a DC for backup. If Samba is already

Hello Marc If I cannot switch from Gentoo to Ubuntu (I am currently testing in VirtualBox Ubuntu Server fresh install)... then I will just use REAR to do P2V and keep it Gentoo :( Yes, I would rather have 2 DCs which

Hello, I've set up 2 DCs. The first as been set up using the command: samba-tool domain provision ? The second, using the command: samba-tool domain join <realm> DC? As far as command return status say the commands went well. Using only the first DC, I can add windows client to the domain, I can manage users, everything seems to be ok. When adding the second DC, users database is

This is also possible with AD sites. Even if the network connection is temporary offline. Each DC has a RID pool (default 500 RIDs). Until it's empty, you can create new

I'll search the Wiki If you only have one AD DC, then they are already on your DC and there is no other place the FSMO roles could be. Installed is not the
