[Samba] Strange provisioning error - I really expect an answer

[David Gonzalez]

Hello All,

I'm trying to contribute with my tests and continuous attempts to install
and stress-test samba, but it gets really sad and frustrating finding out
that no one answers.

I know a lot of "we do this for free", "we do this in our free time", "wait
longer for an answer" and that will come, save some typing and please, do
not reply with that.

I've contributed videos to the comunity and material so that it gets tested
more, but I have many unanswered questions. Like whe I tried dynamic
updates, and tried to join a W2k8 server to samba4 domain, as Tridge, showed
on his video he never got that "cannot  determine if DNS server supports
dynamic updates", it remains unsolved for me and unanswered. It'dbe nice to
see how Tridge had his DNS setup?, did he run dhcpd on that same machine?,
did he create dns zones manually?.

I hope this time I get a chance.

I installed samab 4 from git, and compiled it with no errors, provisioned
and it worked, then I deleted the whole /usr/local/samab dir because I
screwed it up with a failed attempt of joining a w2k8 R2 machine to the
domain, decided to re-provision and I'm getting this error:

Also when I issue "make quicktest",  before installing this shows

If you could please, give me some hint it'd be greatly appreciated.
