[Samba] Error in samba-tool drs updateness

Wed Jul 20 14:13:36 UTC 2022

Hi Douglas.
Yes, the replication is working.
Also, the graph viewed from the Linux and windows sides are exactly the same.
So, the end conclusion is: It's not perfect, but I shouldn't worry about it?

BRGDS,
Bruno Guerreiro

No worries. Me too.

Ok, that's interesting. It's obviously a bug insofar as Samba is not
playing well with the Windows DC, but if objects are being replicated
(including to and from DC11), then you don't need to worry.

This might cause problems if DC11 was selected as a bridgehead for
communication between Default-First-Site-Name and the other sites. That
won't happen spontaneously, but adding more DCs could trigger a
reorganisation.

These commands will draw you a graph of the network

   samba-tool visualize ntdsconn  -S --dot -o network.dot
   dot -Tpng network.dot > network.png

Adding -H ldap://dc11... -UAdministrator to the samba-tool should allow
you to query Windows' view of the network. They *should* be the same.

cheers,
Douglas
