I forgot to mention the initially I was using bind_dlz backend, then I
change to internal dns backend. As you say the "allow dns updates"
directive in smb.conf in only used by the internal dns.

I create the subnet in AD, using "Active Directory Sites and Services"
in a workstations with Remote Server Administration Tools. I made the
test with internal dns and bind_dlz backend, but dynamic dns updates
don't work. The only way that it works is setting "allow dns updates =
nonsecure" in smb.conf when I using internal dns backend.

While the clients are in the same subnet of Samba DC, there is no problems.

Is possible if the clock between DC and client are not synchronized, the
dynamic dns updates don't work?

Thanks for your time.

Regards, Carlos
