[Samba] Linux/Windows Domain Controller

[matti.kaupenjohann]

Hello Together,

we are updating at the moment our old 2012 DCs to 2022 DCs. For a test 
scenario we were tempted to finally try for dc03 and dc04 a linux 
machine as DC. But at the point we tried to join the machine as a dc we 
go prompted by the ugly message:

DsAddEntry failed with status WERR_ACCESS_DENIED info (8567,
'WERR_DS_INCOMPATIBLE_VERSION')

We investigated what might be the issue an found: 
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Windows_2012_Server_compatibility#2012_functional_level_or_above

Is it really impossible to join the existing domain on dc01 and dc02? 
Sadly we have some really old scripts laying around and in the short 
term it is diffcult to relay only on linux dcs.
