[Samba] Active Directory Replication Status Tool From Microsoft

[Thomas Maerz]

I know this is an old ‘thread’ but if you want to use the Microsoft AD Replication Status Tool, you need to add the DN of your domain to those two cross reference entries because Samba4 does not do that for some reason.

Here’s a link on how to do it with RSAT: https://www.safaribooksonline.com/library/view/active-directory-cookbook/0596004648/ch17s09.html <https://www.safaribooksonline.com/library/view/active-directory-cookbook/0596004648/ch17s09.html>

After I did this the AD Replication Status Tool started working.
