Hi,

I have an offline DC that i want to demote and i read here
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Demoting_a_Samba_AD_DC#Demoting_an_Offline_Domain_Controller
that my samba version has to be at least 4.4, but all my DCs have samba
4.3.11. Is it enough if just one of the DCs has samba 4.4+ or does all my
DCs need at least samba 4.4 for demoting an offline DC?

Also, is there a way of demoting on offline DC with samba older than 4.4?
Maybe if i create a DC with the same name as the one i want to remove, join
the domain and then do a proper demoting?
