Hello list,
I'm new to this list, i've searched via google and the mailing list
archives but I cannot find a solution to my following problem, thus I
hope for advice here.
I'm trying to join a new samba-driven Fileserver to an existing Active
Directory Domain. It consists of three AD Servers, all Samba, there is
no windows server at all.
My new file server is a fresh install of Debian 12 with stock samba
packages, already prepared for domain join whith help of this site
(https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setting_up_Samba_as_a_Domain_Member).
At the step to join the domain with
"net ads join -U Administrator" or with "samba-tool domain join
ADVITT.SITE MEMBER -U administrator" I have a problem -> Domain join
works, but DNS-Update does not:
This is the output on the machine which I try to join:
root at fs1:~# net ads join -U Administrator
Password for [ADVITT\Administrator]:
Using short domain name -- ADVITT
Joined 'FS1' to dns domain 'advitt.site'
DNS Update for fs1.advitt.site failed: ERROR_DNS_UPDATE_FAILED
DNS update failed: NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL
And this is the debug log on the machine where the DNS-Update is tried
upon:
Oct 27 14:58:21 vmads.vitt.site samba[16373]: [2023/10/27
14:58:21.679662, 0]
../source4/dns_server/dns_update.c:407(handle_one_update)
Oct 27 14:58:21 vmads.vitt.site samba[16373]: Can't handle updates of
type 255 yet
I guess this is because this specific machine has an old samba version
(4.6.4) which lacks the necessary functions.
What are my options now?
a) update Samba on the old machine to a current version? (not preferred)
b) let the joining Fileserver choose a different AD-Server preferred for
DNS-Updates? (how would I do that?? the other AD servers are running on
debian 11 with samba 4.17.9) All FSMO-Roles are at the other AD servers.
c) create the necessary DNS-Entry manually (tried that already with the
Windows DNS Client, this works)
d) ---another idea??? ---
The server with the old samba version is my old File server and AD
server in one machine and is going to be demoted and shut down soon (in
the past I made the mistake to put File Server and AD Server on this
machine) -> That's the reason why I want to join a new Fileserver to the
domain.
But unfortunately I cannot shut down the old server bevor the new one is
in place.
Sorry for the long explanation, hoping someone can push me in the right
direction.
Thank you in advance.
