[Samba] Migrate DCs on ubuntu 14.04 to ubuntu 18.04
Hi, I'm having the following setup: 3 offices, with at least 2 DCs per office. Every DC is running on ubuntu 14.04 with either samba 4.3.9 or 4.3.11. I'm not the one that build these DCs but from documentation and what I'm told, nothing fancy was done on them, just joined the domain, added users/fileservers and group policy replication as described here: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Rsync_based_SysVol_replication_workaround I have to upgrade/migrate these DCs, so my strategy is to build new DCs on ubuntu 18.04, which comes with samba 4.7.6, join these new DCs to the domain, move the FSMO roles to one of the new DCs, move the group policy replication to new DCs as well and remove the old DCs from domain. My question is, will all data replicate from old DCs to new DCs alright, considering the difference between samba versions?
If you update to Ubuntu 18.04 with Samba 4.7 you will update to both old versions. Better update to 20.04. Set up a new DC with Ubuntu 20.04 join in your domain, after the DC is running replace your DCs step by step Am 15.05.20 um 11:07 schrieb Emilian Mitocariu via samba:> Hi, > > I'm having the following setup: 3 offices, with at least 2 DCs per office. > Every DC is running on ubuntu 14.04 with either samba 4.3.9 or 4.3.11.
