Hello dochelp,

we're receiving numerous user reports that after installing KB5028166 related updates applications on Windows clients can't authenticate anymore against Samba AD DCs.

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15418

It looks like the Windows update introduced changes to netlogon that are not implemented in Samba and also not documented in MS-NRPC.

The logs on the Samba DC tells us the problem is a new NETLOGON_CAPABILITIES type "2":

[2023/07/12 18:04:47.063445,  1, pid=11202, effective(0, 0), real(0, 0), class=rpc_parse] ../../librpc/ndr/ndr.c:490(ndr_print_function_debug)
        netr_LogonGetCapabilities: struct netr_LogonGetCapabilities
           out: struct netr_LogonGetCapabilities
               return_authenticator     : *
                   return_authenticator: struct netr_Authenticator
                       cred: struct netr_Credential
                           data                     : XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
                       timestamp                : (time_t)0
               capabilities             : *
                   capabilities             : union
netr_Capabilities(case 2)
                   UNKNOWN LEVEL 2
               result                   : NT_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED

MS-NRPC only documents type 1:

<https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-nrpc/f03cad67-077f-4042-80b0-cdc38dca9968>

Please read my description with a grain of salt, I'm not the netlogon expert on our team, just wanted to set the ball rolling... :)

Thanks!
