I just transferred all the FSMO roles from DC-MIGRATE to DC1:
[root at dc1 ~]# samba-tool fsmo transfer --role=all
FSMO transfer of 'rid' role successful
FSMO transfer of 'pdc' role successful
FSMO transfer of 'naming' role successful
FSMO transfer of 'infrastructure' role successful
FSMO transfer of 'schema' role successful
I then double checked as follows:
[root at dc1 ~]# samba-tool fsmo show
InfrastructureMasterRole owner: CN=NTDS
Settings,CN=DC1,CN=Servers,CN=Default-First-Site-Name,CN=Sites,CN=Configuration,DC=omtest,DC=com
RidAllocationMasterRole owner: CN=NTDS
Settings,CN=DC1,CN=Servers,CN=Default-First-Site-Name,CN=Sites,CN=Configuration,DC=omtest,DC=com
PdcEmulationMasterRole owner: CN=NTDS
Settings,CN=DC1,CN=Servers,CN=Default-First-Site-Name,CN=Sites,CN=Configuration,DC=omtest,DC=com
DomainNamingMasterRole owner: CN=NTDS
Settings,CN=DC1,CN=Servers,CN=Default-First-Site-Name,CN=Sites,CN=Configuration,DC=omtest,DC=com
SchemaMasterRole owner: CN=NTDS
Settings,CN=DC1,CN=Servers,CN=Default-First-Site-Name,CN=Sites,CN=Configuration,DC=omtest,DC=com
Looks good but when I run this:
[root at dc1 ~]# ldbsearch --cross-ncs -H /var/lib/samba/private/sam.ldb -b
"CN=Infrastructure,DC=DomainDnsZones,DC=omtest,DC=com" -s base fsmoroleowner
# record 1
dn: CN=Infrastructure,DC=DomainDnsZones,DC=omtest,DC=com
fSMORoleOwner: CN=NTDS
Settings,CN=DC-MIGRATE,CN=Servers,CN=Default-First-Site
-Name,CN=Sites,CN=Configuration,DC=omtest,DC=com
You'll notice that this time it still lists DC-MIGRATE as the role owner
(I didn't bother running this for the other roles). I re-ran the command
again half an hour later, thinking that perhaps this just need a little
time to settle, but got the same results.
Does this indicate a problem that I need to resolve? If so, how do I
resolve it?
Incidentally, the link for " FSMO role management using the Windows GUI" on
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Flexible_Single-Master_Operations_(FSMO)_roles
is broken.

John
