[cifs-protocol] Unable to dcpromo windows with a Samba4 DC

Dear Dochelp,

I've spent 2 days trying to make a Windows DC join a samba server with 
production data.

So far I haven't been very successful.

I tried with Windows 2003r2, the replication is ok but at the restart I 
have an message id 26 on LSASS.EXE and I'm only able to reboot in repair 
domain mode.

Checking with ntdsutil didn't show problems apart that quota a broken 
and repairing them didn't work.

I tried with samba 2008r2 and the replication is not OK, it seems that 
Windows is ok with the Schema partition, but for some reasons it loops 
on the Configuration partition. I have this in the 
c:\windows\debug\dcpromo.log file:

I tried to analyze with dcdiag the provision on the samba server it 
seems ok apart from the FRS part (quite normal ...).

Is there a way to make dcpromo more verbose so it says what it is 
waiting from the source (and why it keeps looping). I have somehow the 
feeling that what makes Windows 2003R2 crash is what makes Windows 
2008R2 loop forever, the question is what is it !
