Even tried in ADUC to remove re create NTDS settings or remove 
automatically generated ones, whithout success.
I don't know what's going wrong with DC4, but it's the only DC i cannot 
sync manually from DC1.
I purged every single drop of samba on it an re installed it from 
scratch, and and it still does the same for it (even with 
--remove-other-dead-server demotion and dbcheck on DC1).
I guess I'm gonna try to install another machine as I don't know what to 
do here.
