[Samba] Error when joining new DC

[Peter Mittermayer]

Hi Douglas,

I did join a DC (let's say DC2) with 4.14.9 and in place upgrade to 4.10. but still I'm unable to join another DC with higher version when using '--server DC2'.

Unfortunately I had a medical emergency in the family and wasn't able to do any work on verifying the DB.

Peter

Yes, an online backup is like a join that doesn't actually join.

There are some files in the sam.ldb.d/ directory that are effectively
part of sam.ldb from Samba's point of view, but otherwise nothing
else matters.

Have you tried a join with 4.14.9, then do an in-place upgrade?

cheers,
Douglas
