Hello all,
I've planned to upgrade a Samba DC from 4.6.7 to 4.9.4 .
For that I will use the following method :
- build a new DC from 4.9.4 sources (on CentOS 7)
- join this new DC to the domain
- transfer the FSMO roles from the old DC (4.6.7) to the new DC (4.9.4)
- replicate the sysvoldir from old DC to new DC
- demote the old DC
- switch off the old DC
Since I prefer to ask before facing any problems, is there any issue I
should take care about ? Especially from 4.6 to 4.9 release , is there any
big changes or incompatibility that could be a potential source of
troubles (Kerberos ? default values ?) ?
Would 4.8.8 a better seamless option ?
The smb.conf of the old DC is :
# Global parameters
[global]
netbios name = OLD-DC
realm = MYDOM.MYCOMP.COM
workgroup = MYDOM
dns forwarder = 1.2.3.4
server role = active directory domain controller
idmap_ldb:use rfc2307 = yes
ldap server require strong auth = no
ntlm auth = yes
raw NTLMv2 auth = yes
[netlogon]
path = /var/lib/samba/sysvol2/mydom.mycomp.com/scripts
read only = No
browseable = no
[sysvol]
path = /var/lib/samba/sysvol2
read only = No
browseable = no
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Henri
