Release Announcements
=====================
This is the first preview release of Samba 4.10. This is *not*
intended for production environments and is designed for testing
purposes only. Please report any defects via the Samba bug reporting
system at https://bugzilla.samba.org/.
Samba 4.10 will be the next version of the Samba suite.
UPGRADING
=========
NEW FEATURES/CHANGES
====================
GPO Improvements
----------------
A new 'samba-tool gpo export' command has been added that can export a
set of Group Policy Objects from a domain in a generalised XML format.
A corresponding 'samba-tool gpo restore' command has been added to
rebuild the Group Policy Objects from the XML after generalization.
(The administrator needs to correct the values of XML entities between
the backup and restore to account for the change in domain).
kdc prefork
-----------
The KDC now supports the pre-fork process model and worker processes will be
forked for the KDC when the pre-fork process model is selected for samba.
prefork 'prefork children'
--------------------------
The default value for this smdb.conf parameter has been increased from 1 to
4.
netlogon prefork
----------------
DCERPC now supports pre-forked NETLOGON processes. The netlogon processes are
pre-forked when the prefork process model is selected for samba.
Offline domain backups
----------------------
The 'samba-tool domain backup' command has been extended with a new 'offline'
option. This safely creates a backup of the local DC's database directly from
disk. The main benefits of an offline backup are it's quicker, it stores more
database details (for forensic purposes), and the samba process does not have
to be running when the backup is made. Refer to the samba-tool help for more
details on using this command.
Group membership statistics
---------------------------
A new 'samba-tool group stats' command has been added. This provides summary
information about how the users are spread across groups in your domain.
The 'samba-tool group list --verbose' command has also been updated to include
the number of users in each group.
REMOVED FEATURES
================
samba_backup
------------
The samba_backup script has been removed. This has now been replaced by the
'samba-tool domain backup offline' command.
smb.conf changes
================
