Thiago, thanks for sharing your experience. It's nice to know I'm not the only one facing this issue.  

Unfortunately google is failing me so hopefully someone has come across a fix.

Hello Mike,
I think I'm facing the very same problem with Samba 4.1.6 on Ubuntu 14.04.1.
Master = ubuntu-ad-1.realm.domain.com

IP = 192.168.0.10DNS NS entry = yes
Joined "ubuntu-ad-2" into "*.realm.domain.com", as a secondary DC, it did not have a NS entry.


Joined "ubuntu-ad-3" into "*.realm.domain.com", as a secondary DC, it did not have a NS entry.

The command "host -t SRV _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.realm.domain.com" shows all Domain Controllers but, the command "dig @192.168.0.10 realm.domain.com" does not show "ubuntu-ad-2 | 3" under "AUTHORITY SECTION".


Weird is that, later, to test, I joined a W2K8 R2 "win-ad-1", as a secondary DC (using dcpromo, with Global Catalog, DNS Server and etc), and it appeared as a NS for the domain(s)! After a few errors... "win-ad-1" becomes authoritative but ubuntu-ad-2|3 doesn't.


Regular Domain Members (smbd fileservers, desktops) and its DNS entries are working just fine, including support for Disjoint Namespaces and reverse DNS, for both IPv4 and IPv6.

I'm using the latest samba build (4.1.11) and I've setup a Domain two Domain  Controllers,  however when the second Domain Controller joined the domain a HOST(A) record was created automatically but there was no Name server record added to DNS for the second DC.





Hello all,

I'm trying to add a second NS record for my 2nd DC but can't seem to get it done.





I've tried a couple of syntaxes based on the samba-tool and it command appears to complete successfully but the DNS record doesn't show up then DNS breaks and I have to delete the record to get things working again.





Initial DC that has a NS record

adldap1.samba4.lott



Second DC that joined without an NS record

adldap2.samba4.lott



Domain:

samba4.lott



My command syntax: ( This completes successfully but breaks DNS)



samba-tool dns add adldap1.samba4.lott samba4.lott adldap1.samba4.lott NS adldap2.samba4.lott



I also tried swapping the servers in case I has the syntax wrong..



samba-tool dns add adldap1.samba4.lott samba4.lott adldap2.samba4.lott NS adldap1.samba4.lott





I've also tried adding a second NS record using  the Windows DNS snap-in but I get validation error.



Note that all DNS queries are working fine for all nodes from all nodes.





What am I missing here?
