UPGRADING
NEW FEATURES/CHANGES
====================
+GPO Improvements
+----------------
-net ads setspn
----------------
+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.
-There is a new 'net ads setspn' sub command for managing Windows SPN(s)
-on the AD. This command aims to give the basic functionaility that is
-provided on windows by 'setspn.exe' e.g. ability to add, delete and list
-Windows SPN(s) stored in a Windows AD Computer object.
+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).
-The format of the command is:
+kdc prefork
+-----------
-net ads setspn list [machine]
-net ads setspn [add | delete ] SPN [machine]
+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.
-'machine' is the name of the computer account on the AD that is to be managed.
-If 'machine' is not specified the name of the 'client' running the command
-is used instead.
+prefork 'prefork children'
+--------------------------
-The format of a Windows SPN is
- 'serviceclass/host:port/servicename' (servicename and port are optional)
+The default value for this smdb.conf parameter has been increased from 1 to
+4.
-serviceclass/host is generally sufficient to specify a host based service.
+netlogon prefork
+----------------
-net ads keytab changes
-----------------------
-net ads keytab add no longer attempts to convert the passed serviceclass
-(e.g. nfs, html etc.) into a Windows SPN which is added to the Windows AD
-computer object. By default just the keytab file is modified.
-
-A new keytab subcommand 'add_update_ads' has been added to preserve the
-legacy behaviour. However the new 'net ads setspn add' subcommand should
-really be used instead.
-
-net ads keytab create no longer tries to generate SPN(s) from existing
-entries in a keytab file. If it is required to add Windows SPN(s) then
-'net ads setspn add' should be used instead.
+DCERPC now supports pre-forked NETLOGON processes. The netlogon processes are
+pre-forked when the prefork process model is selected for samba.
