[ALUG] Fixed: When using Samba 4 as AD do NOT update to samba 4.8.x

[Andreas Tauscher]

Is now fixed in version 4.8.1-9


> Got this today from the SerNet mailinglist:
> 
> It turned out that under certain circumstances, updating Samba AD DCs to
> Samba 4.8.x might lead to completely broken domain controllers!
> 
> For more details, please see
> https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13335
> 
> In the case of a broken 4.8 DC, please note that downgrading to older
> versions requires to run the 'sambaundoguididx' script to undo a GUID
> index. This script allows to re-index the Samba AD database, in order
> downgrade from version 4.8 to 4.7.
> 
> Fileservers are not affected by this issue and setting up new 4.8.x
> domain controllers works fine also.
