Environment:

UCS Primary and Backup
The primary was created from a takeover. Windows 2003.
After that some times later the domain level was raised to 2008 but the schema data was noch updated automatically.

Because of the missing schema the UCS02 with its new version is missing a few schemes and therefore does not join.

univention-s4search  -b "CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,$(ucr get samba4/ldap/base)" ldapdisplayname=msDS-SupportedEncryptionTypes
# returned 0 records
# 0 entries
# 0 referrals

You can try to upgrade the schema:
samba-tool domain schemaupgrade` ?

Note: This tool only works from 2008 R2. In order to upgrade from earlier versions, the ldf files must be manually sourced from the Windows adprep tool and run with the -
-ldf-file= option.

But this is very elaborate and has not led to success. The error has changed to:

Solution:

The solution is to reprovision Samba on the master from the openLDAP so that the backup can then join a fresh samba.
