Replication woes with s4 domain adding Win 2008 R2 DC

[Greg Dickie]

Hi,

  I had successfully migrated a domain from samba3 to samba4 which is
VERY cool!

Now I've added a Windows 2008R2 DC and it looks like replication is not
working.

The log file shows:


[2012/05/09 07:59:27,
3] ../source4/libcli/resolve/dns_ex.c:534(pipe_handler)
  dns child failed to find name
'673a7013-32f0-4df4-a2fb-ed84c3e4072d._msdcs.example.local' of type A
[2012/05/09 07:59:27,
4] ../source4/dsdb/repl/drepl_notify.c:196(dreplsrv_notify_op_callback)
  dreplsrv_notify: Failed to send DsReplicaSync to

CN=Configuration,DC=example,DC=local - NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND :
WERR_BADFILE


Indeed, there is no A record for
673a7013-32f0-4df4-a2fb-ed84c3e4072d._msdcs.example.local

but there is a CNAME which seems fine:

[root at hamba4 ~]# dig

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
Greg
