[Samba] Need to upgrade to latest samba -> Any caveats?"

[Greg Sloop <gregs@sloop.net>]

No debian but Ubuntu 20.04 -> 22.04, a few months ago.
I do have VM's so I could have easily just joined a new DC and demoted and
removed the old one.
But I also have several DC's so it's not like I couldn't simply try the
in-place distro upgrade and if that failed build a new DC and then remove
the old one.

I did a DC that didn't handle the FSMO roles, so less work to demote and
remove it things went sideways.
I used Michael Tokarev's repo - I think I was on 4.16 on 20.04 and move
from that to 4.20.x on 22.04.

It went fine and I then just did the same for all the DC's.

So either way can work - I just didn't want the hassle and confusion of
removing the "old" DC's and removing the DNS entries and then setting up
sysvol sync etc to the new DC. I figured if I could get it to work, it
wasn't any riskier than spinning up a new DC and might save me some
headache when I forgot to do some step to transition to the new DC.
