Thank you very much Ricky. The "samba_dnsupdate" script is working. Its sound strange because my Debian Squeeze has installed "nsupdate" by default, but not work correctly it seems, may be a bug I think; then I installed dnsutils package ,from repositories, that contain dig, nslookup and nsupdate. Now samba_dnsupdate work correctly.

I replicated manually DomainDnsZones and ForestDnsZones from my Windows PDC to my Samba4 DC and its work fine. Then I wait for a while and check the status of replication with "samba-tool drs repl" and all is fine. Finally I ran samba_upgradedns to create private/dns directory and configured my bind9.8.1 to use Bind DLZ. I have seen that Start of Authority (SOA) zone referent to Samba4 DC is not created, if necessary create it manually?
