There is a script from Louis called 'samba-check-db-repl.sh' which is 
probably what you are looking for. You find it here: 
https://github.com/thctlo/samba4/blob/master/samba-check-db-repl.sh

I did find and fix some bugs in it, but have not shared that code yet. 
Have a look at the original from Louis, if it is what you are looking 
for I can share my changes.
