Join a domain as a DC - replicating problems

[Marc Muehlfeld]

Hello,

I bring my test environment back in use for trying this (I was to afraid to do 
this in production, after the join as DC doesn't work like described in the 
wiki). :-)


I made a 1:1 copy (incl. names/IPs) of my live system and a brand new rc4+Bind 
setup in my testenvironment.

I added this on the old DC and when I looked in the DNS console to the new 
server, the entry was there. It seems, something replicated it.

I extracted the GUID and added the CNAME record to the old DC. This one was 
also replicated to the new host automatically.



But 'samba-tool drs showrepl' still fails:
ERROR(<class 'samba.drs_utils.drsException'>): DRS connection to 
test_dc2.muc.medizinische-genetik.de failed - drsException: DRS connection to 
test_dc2.muc.medizinische-genetik.de failed: (-1073741772, 
'NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND')
   File "/usr/local/samba/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/samba/netcmd/drs.py", 
line 39, in drsuapi_connect
     (ctx.drsuapi, ctx.drsuapi_handle, ctx.bind_supported_extensions) = 
drs_utils.drsuapi_connect(ctx.server, ctx.lp, ctx.creds)
   File "/usr/local/samba/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/samba/drs_utils.py", 
line 54, in drsuapi_connect
     raise drsException("DRS connection to %s failed: %s" % (server, e))




I also created a bug report about the problem that the DNS entries are not 
created: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9363
