Hi

In my environment I have 5 Samba4 RODC's running 4.6.7 which are joined to
the Samba4 DC which I have recently upgraded to 4.7.4. As I have read there
are many fixes for RODC's functions included in the 4.7 so I would like to
upgrade all my RODC's to 4.7.4 but before doing it I have few doubts as
below:

Before I remove my RODC's I like to clear out few doubts:

1. Instead of  removing RODC's running 4.6.x version of samba can I not
simply upgrade them to 4.7.4 version. Will it make a difference?
2. If I remove 4.6.x RODC's then can I use the same NETBIOS name and IP
Address for the new 4.7.4 RODC.
3. After upgrading Samba to 4.7.4 on RODC can I remove it from the domain
and then join it again.

For testing I have upgraded one of the RODC from 4.6 to 4.7.4 and when I
run the command to check replication it is giving the below error.
