Hi there, I am trying to upgrade my old Samba3 (with LDAP backend) to Samba 4.
I am doing this on a test VM for now as a proof of concept. When running this command: /usr/local/samba/bin/samba-tool domain classicupgrade --dbdir=/home/administrator/samba3/ --use-xattrs=yes --realm=internal.com /home/administrator/samba3/smb.conf I get this: Reading smb.conf Provisioning Exporting account policy Exporting groups Exporting users Next rid = 2012040402 Exporting posix attributes Reading WINS database Looking up IPv4 addresses Looking up IPv6 addresses No IPv6 address will be assigned Setting up secrets.ldb Setting up the registry Setting up the privileges database Setting up idmap db Setting up SAM db Setting up sam.ldb partitions and settings Setting up sam.ldb rootDSE Pre-loading the Samba 4 and AD schema ERROR(<class 'samba.provision.ProvisioningError'>): uncaught exception - ProvisioningError: You want to run SAMBA 4 with a next_rid of 2012040402, the valid range is 1000-1000000000. The default is 1000. File "/usr/local/samba/lib/python2.7/site-packages/samba/netcmd/__init__.py", line 175, in _run return self.run(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/local/samba/lib/python2.7/site-packages/samba/netcmd/domain.py", line 1318, in run useeadb=eadb, dns_backend=dns_backend, use_ntvfs=use_ntvfs) File "/usr/local/samba/lib/python2.7/site-packages/samba/upgrade.py", line 866, in upgrade_from_samba3 use_ntvfs=use_ntvfs, skip_sysvolacl=True) File "/usr/local/samba/lib/python2.7/site-packages/samba/provision/__init__.py", line 2155, in provision skip_sysvolacl=skip_sysvolacl) File "/usr/local/samba/lib/python2.7/site-packages/samba/provision/__init__.py", line 1757, in provision_fill next_rid=next_rid, dc_rid=dc_rid) File "/usr/local/samba/lib/python2.7/site-packages/samba/provision/__init__.py", line 1227, in fill_samdb raise ProvisioningError(error) So, it appears that my Next rid parameter is too high (namely: 2012040402). I have run this multiple times and next rid is always the same number. Before I start decimating my LDAP directory has anyone seen this behaviour before? I have done a quick LDAP search and not been able to find any RID's that would cause such an inflated number so am a bit stumped.
