Thanks. I gave that a shot, but it still results in the same set of errors.

Only hasty construction of the test lab. These were present in the
default configuration file, and I did not want to remove things that
*could* be important.
It turns out they are not important.

Much worse. UIDs were chosen about a decade ago for coherence with *OS
X* systems which predated the AD domain.
If only I had it to do over, I would!

diverging, and let that fork die)

Ah, my own naivete then. Thank you.

With an N=3, I can reliably reproduce this on upgrading the domain
controller from Server 2022 to *the latest version of* Server 2025 -
with any of my home domain or lab configurations.

Doing a little bit of bisecting... it looks like specifically
KB5051987, the 2025.02B update, causes this failure.

It appears there is a new access control check for DsrGetDcName in
netlogon (which is visible with debug logging enabled) which fails for
Samba clients.

+ [CRITICAL] Rejecting an RPC call due to error from AccessCheck:
0x6e4 OpNum:20 Method:DsrGetDcName

That substring  ("Rejecting an RPC call ...") does not appear in
netlogon at all prior to KB5051987. Now, I don't yet know why the 2B
update to Server 2022 doesn't have the same behavior...

I work at Microsoft on Windows, but not on the AD product, and I am
here solely as a home user with a bug report. That being said: if it
would help for me to bend the ear of somebody over in AD/DS to figure
out if this is a Windows issue or a Samba one, I would be happy to.
