No, that's not what i meant. I'm not trying to include my stuff to AD, 
but connecting AD to my stuff.
I'll try to keep AD clean with AD machines, but on my own interface i've 
both AD machines and not. I think i'll stay with my own bind with 
bind_dlz backend : is that still not recommended to have DNS entries 
that aren't referenced as AD hosts ?

But the main point was the DHCP leases, i used 'add machine script' to 
update my dhcpd server's configuration to add lease for this new host.
It was great because it was automatic, due to the fact that samba was 
calling the script after adding machine to the domain, but if there's no 
such trigger anymore, i'll find something else.

I'll take a look at it, but the main problem is to launch it automatically.
