>+AD Database compatibility
>+-------------------------

>+Samba v4.11 has changed how the AD database is stored on disk. AD users should
>+not really be affected by this change when upgrading to v4.11. However, AD
>+users should be extremely careful if they need to downgrade from Samba v4.11 to
>+an older release.
>+
>+Samba v4.11 maintains database compatibility with older Samba releases. The
>+database will automatically get rewritten in the new v4.11 format when you
>+first start the upgraded samba executable.
>+
>+However, when downgrading from v4.11 you will need to manually downgrade the AD
>+database yourself. Note that you will need to do this step before you install
>+the downgraded Samba packages. For more details, see:
>+https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Downgrading_an_Active_Directory_DC
>+
>+When either upgrading or downgrading, users should also avoid making any
>+database modifications between installing the new Samba packages and starting
>+the samba executable.
>+
>+Note that when moving between major Samba releases in general, we recommend
>+that the AD DC is rejoined to the domain. Using this approach avoids the need
>+to explicitly downgrade the database manually. For more details, see:
>+https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Upgrading_a_Samba_AD_DC
