Hi there,
I have just purchased a new PC that came with Windows 8 Pro (Shudder...).
I have been trying to add this machine to my Samba3 based domain.
I'm getting the following error when doing so:
The following error occurred when DNS was queried for the service location
(SRV) resource record used to locate an Active Directory Domain Controller
(AD DC) for domain "<blah>":
The error was: "DNS name does not exist."
(error code 0x0000232B RCODE_NAME_ERROR)
The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.<blah>
I have applied the Windows 7 registry patches:
HKLM\System\CCS\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters
DWORD DomainCompatibilityMode = 1
DWORD DNSNameResolutionRequired = 0
Which others seem to suggest work - at least with Beta versions of Win8 -
but the error message suggests these are not doing anything?
I have also specified the DNS suffix of the network manually. I have also
applied all available Windows updates.
Its Windows 8 Pro (on a Dell machine, if that matters) and Samba 3.6.6-3
running under Debian Wheezy. Nothing at all in the Samba logs - but I
guess thats as its not even trying NT4 domain style.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Simon
