Hi Federico, It was just a very basic test with a "naked" Windows 2003 DC and I did not test GPO/Sysvol transfers (only checked adding a GPO to the samba dc after removing the Windows DC, which was working perfect) If transferred the fsmo rules with samba-tool. fsmo seize did not work on my machine, there were always errors (can't remember excatly at the moment), transfer had a timeout the first try, but the second run was successful. I've also tried it with ntdsutil from Windows, exact the same behaviour (first try - timeout) so i think this is "normal". >From what I have seen it's also working with samba-tool the first time, even when there is a timeout message (I've used --role=all). After one run I left the computer to get some coffee and when I came back and checked the roles I could see that every role was now transferred... The only thing I'm unsure is with dcpromo when demoting the Windows DC - I always get a message with "holds the last replication of Application Directory Partitions" - usually ForestDNS and DomainDNS partitions. I've just selected "delete them" and so far there was no issue. But as mentioned, I'm also doing this in a little test environment and have often switched back to an earlier snapshot to try again...no long term experience.. ;-) I'm still testing...
