Hello,

I recently migrated our samba 3 domain to an AD domain using Samba 4 classic upgrade tool.
DNS is provided by the internal dns server of Samba 4.

I promoted a Windows 2k8 box as a new DC of this domain and I transfer all the 5 FSMO roles to this windows box.

Now I would like to demote the Samba4 DC but when I tried I got this message :

# samba-tool domain demote
ERROR: Current DC is still the owner of 2 role(s), use the role command to transfer roles to another DC

When check the fsmo roles status via "samba-tool fsmo show" on linux or with ntdsutil on windows it confirms that the Samba 4 DC doesn't own anything.

Then, I tried to just stop samba4 and follow the microsoft procedure to remove a failed DC. But when I do that the domain fails, i've got an error message when i try to open any AD tool (ADUC for example) saying that the "domain cannot be found".

It seems that something is handled by Samba only but I can't figure out what.

Is this a DNS problem ? Should I use Bind ?

Well, it's not urgent... wait a minute, my boss has a chainsaw, maybe I should hurry :D .



Best regards,
