[Samba] "DNS update failed" during ads join

[Linux Addict]

When the client joins AD, samba initiates DDNS update to register
itself on DNS server. IF your DNS server is not configured to update
dynamic updates, you will receive this error.

As long as you have right forward/reverse entries on your DNS server,
you need not to worry about this error.
