Hi,
I plan to upgrade/replace my somewhat crippled and outdated samba 4.7.4
domain controller. The OS is an openSUSE-Leap-42.3 which had no packages
for a samba-ad-dc. These packages have been introduced in successor
openSUSE releases starting with Leap-15.0. Leap-15.0 comes with samba
4.7.11. So I set up a new Leap-15.0 host and joint it as a dc
controller. I set up the sysvol replication (rsync), transfered the fsmo
roles to the new host and switched replication source and target.
Everything apeared to run fine for the moment but if I stop samba on the
old server I'm getting trouble with the sysvol-share and I can't access
the gpo via the windows Group Policy Management Console. The console is
telling me that the old host is still the base domain controller for my
domain wheras samba-tool fsmo show lists all roles are served by the new on.
My plan for the future is to demote the old dc, upgrade the new one step
by step (Leap 15.0 ->15.1 (samba 4.9.5) -> 15.2 (samba 4.11.14)-> 15.3
(samba 4.15.12) -> 15.4 ) and finally to set up a new second dc for
failover purposes.
What can I do get these problems fixed?
Thanks in advance.
Thorsten
