[Samba] Inconsistent DCs / Failed to convert objects / WERR_GENERAL_FAILURE

[Laurent CARON]

Hi,

I'm experiencing a strange replication problem.

Context:
5 samba DC in a single domain
FSMO roles are owned by 10.0.10.11 (vs-dc-siege-001)

vs-dc-siege-001: 10.0.10.11
vs-dc-siege-002: 10.0.10.12

vs-dc-vty-001: 10.0.100.11
vs-dc-vty-002: 10.0.100.12

vs-oc-vty-001: 10.0.100.156


I get the following errors in : samba-tool drs showrepl

CN=Configuration,DC=corp,DC=mydomain,DC=fr
         Default-First-Site-Name\VS-DC-SIEGE-001 via RPC
                 DSA object GUID: c9dcd964-c30e-4a67-a2e5-ecfd29e57602
                 Last attempt @ Thu Aug 27 00:32:26 2015 CEST failed, 
result 58 (WERR_BAD_NET_RESP)
                 54 consecutive failure(s).
                 Last success @ Wed Aug 26 21:41:51 2015 CEST


Seems this error appeared after installing openchange which did lead to 
a schema upgrade.


Samba logs for the non-FSMO DC are showing

How serious is this issue ?

How to recover from it ?

Thanks
