[Samba] RPC Server Unavailable - Error

[Anantha Raghava]

Hi,

This morning, again we encountered the same issue. When RSAT reported 
the RPC Server error, the replication between servers was failing as well.

As you suggested, we rung the dbcheck command, which threw the mismatch 
on count of deleted objects. 3 servers had 3 entries in deleted objects 
whereas the 4th server had 4 entries in deleted objects. samba-tool 
dbcheck --reindex did not fix this part. We ran samba-tool dbcheck fix 
--cross-ncs --fix command on all severs and this fixed the mismatch in 
number of objects. Again we ran samba-tool dbchek --reindex on all 4 
servers.

The problem seems to have got fixed. We have kept the servers under 
observation. For the moment, we have raised the log level to 5. In case 
the issue surfaces once again, I will notify here with logs as well.

Thanks for your guidance.

Thanks & regards,

Anantha Raghava
