When you join a domain, samba-tool uses provision code. Only as
part of that provision, DNS bits are not provisioned.

I can add a check for dns accounts and adding them in upgradedns.

Well the script currently parses a single file as would have created by
provision code with BIND9_FLATFILE as backend. You can merge
both the zones in a single file and put it in the correct place, and
upgradedns would be able to parse it. If you have not added any
custom records in the zones, then you can actually specify
--migrate=no, which will automatically create standard DNS
records (for DC operation).

Your AD database would be quite similar to the one provisioned with
DNS backend of BIND9_FLATFILE. I suggest you try upgradedns
(after I've added the check for DNS accounts), and check if that
works for you.

Thanks.

Amitay.
