Sorry, my Gmail is configured to top-post by default.

My problem with upgrades was with member servers. The upgrade process was
fine and I can join the AD with any Windows machine, but when I try to join
that AD with a Linux machine then it fails. I've created a new AD with same
versions and configurations and I can join that AD with same servers that
fails with upgraded AD.

Greetings!!
