GSS server Update(krb5)(1) Update failed: Miscellaneous failure (see text): Failed to find SMB$@SCHEIN.IG(kvno 39) in keytab FILE:/etc/krb5.keytab (aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96)
Investigation:
On the master:
ldbsearch -H /var/lib/samba/private/sam.ldb samaccountname='backup$' msds-keyversionnumber
# record 1
dn: CN=BACKUP,OU=Domain Controllers,DC=schein,DC=ig
msDS-KeyVersionNumber: 39
On the backup:
ldbsearch -H /var/lib/samba/private/sam.ldb samaccountname='backup$' msds-keyversionnumber
# record 1
dn: CN=BACKUP,OU=Domain Controllers,DC=schein,DC=ig
msDS-KeyVersionNumber: 41
Also on the Backup
ldbsearch -H /var/lib/samba/private/secrets.ldb 'samAccountName=backup$' msDS-KeyVersionNumber
# record 1
dn: flatname=SCHEIN,cn=Primary Domains
msDS-KeyVersionNumber: 41
So we can see, that the KeyVersionNumber on the Master is wrong and does not match to one on the backup server.
ktutil list on the backup also shows the right keyversionNumber
FILE:/etc/krb5.keytab:

Solution:
We can replicate the one object from the backup to the master.
On the master server
samba-tool drs replicate --local master backup --single-object 'CN=BACKUP,OU=Domain Controllers,DC=schein,DC=ig' -P
Exop on[CN=BACKUP,OU=Domain Controllers,DC=schein,DC=ig] objects[1] linked_values[0]
Full Replication of all 1 objects and 0 links from backup to tdb:///var/lib/samba/private/sam.ldb was successful.
You can also use the IP from the servers here:
samba-tool drs replicate --local master 10.200.43.181 --single-object 'CN=BACKUP,OU=Domain Controllers,DC=schein,DC=ig' -P
And if the machine accound does not work anymore you can try the administrator account.
Indication could be this message:
The attempted logon is invalid. This is either due to a bad username or authentication information."
samba-tool drs replicate --local master 10.200.43.181 --single-object 'CN=BACKUP,OU=Domain Controllers,DC=schein,DC=ig' -P -U Administrator
After that check if the keyversionNumber is now the same on the master:
ldbsearch -H /var/lib/samba/private/sam.ldb samaccountname='backup$' msds-keyversionnumber
# record 1
dn: CN=BACKUP,OU=Domain Controllers,DC=schein,DC=ig
msDS-KeyVersionNumber: 41
Last but not least you have to restart the samba service on the DCs. Master and Backup!
/etc/init.d/samba restart
