[Samba] Failed to set servicePrincipalNames (Samba+Solaris 10+NISplus+ADS+DNS)

[Brian Gregg]

When joining our Solaris 10 Samba 3.0.23 system to ADS via...

# /usr/local/samba/bin/net ads join -U Administrator
Administrator's password:

Using short domain name -- ULS
Failed to set servicePrincipalNames. Only NTLM authentication will be 
possible.
Please ensure that the DNS domain of this server matches the AD domain,
Or rejoin with using Domain Admin credentials.
Joined 'KRAKEN' to realm 'ULS.NT.PITT.EDU'


Our Unix system FQDNS name is kraken.library.pitt.edu
Our Windows ADS realm is ULS.NT.PITT.EDU.
Our Active Directory DNS Tree starts at NT.PITT.EDU as we (Pitt) did not 
want to integrate the existing DNS tree with the Active Directory DNS 
Tree. An Option that is defined by Microsoft.

We can not put our UNIX system under the Active Directory Tree as it 
exists in a Solaris NIS+ configuration where the other UNIX systems are 
located in the library.pitt.edu DNS Tree.

Thus neither setting the DNS domain to the AD domain or vise versa is 
possible. 

My question is - given this setup what problems will we run into?

Thanks for any info.

Brian Gregg.
