[Samba] Few questions about members

[Steve Campbell]

Top posting now because the original was useless.

When we try to join a member to the domain, the following results are given:

# /usr/local/samba/bin/net ads join -U administrator
Enter administrator's password:
Using short domain name -- TS
Joined 'MEMBER1' to dns domain 'ts.mystuff.com'
DNS Update for member1.ts.mystuff.com failed: ERROR_DNS_UPDATE_FAILED
DNS update failed: NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL

DNS seems to work as expected, though. The previous tests showed working 
DNS.

We have even added the A record for the server manually.

# host -t A member1.ts.mystuff.com
member1.ts.mystuff.com has address 192.9.200.84

Thanks for any assistance. I'm still wondering about the startup script 
in the original post, but that can wait.
