[Samba] Active Directory Replication Status Tool From Microsoft

[James]

Hello,

Using this tool on a Samba 4.1.16 forest I get the following two
errors.

DC=ForestDnsZones,DC=domain,DC=local NamingContext 1 Failed
Discovery: Property 'msds-sdreferencedomain' does not exist.

DC=DomainDnsZones,DC=domain,DC=local NamingContext 1 Failed
Discovery: Property 'msds-sdreferencedomain' does not exist.

Replication does indeed work as I can verify using samba tools. I see
reference to the 'msds-sdreferencedomain' in the Samba wiki under Task
DSDB#02. It appears further development is needed on this front. Has
this been addressed in 4.1.2? Thanks.

I know this is an old ‘thread’ but if you want to use the Microsoft AD Replication Status Tool, you need to add the DN of your domain to those two cross reference entries because Samba4 does not do that for some reason.

Here’s a link on how to do it with RSAT: https://www.safaribooksonline.com/library/view/active-directory-cookbook/0596004648/ch17s09.html <https://www.safaribooksonline.com/library/view/active-directory-cookbook/0596004648/ch17s09.html>

After I did this the AD Replication Status Tool started working.

Thomas,

I have since found this out and added what you have linked. Are you
by chance using a domain that ends in .local? I've seen Windows DC's
fail to add this attribute as well if using .local.
