[Samba] Join AD fails DNS update

[L.P.H. van Belle]

and this is not needed... if the A record in the dns is correct.

If you have a correct A record in the dns, you still can join the domain. 

I just gives a error of unable to create the dns record at join. 
imo a bug of samba and can be ignored. the hostname wil be created in the AD anyway. 

and i explain why. 
1) pc gets dhcp ip, and this is added in the dns. ( in case of dynamic dns ) 
2) pc joins the ad.. and gets added in the ad.
   and during this join a A record is also tried to create in the dns. 
   but is is already there...  so it gives back an error... 

Samba should check if the A record already exist, if so, dont create it. 

I've tested this, multiple times, and if i have to rejoin a domain,
just clear the /var/lib/samba  
and remove the hostname from the AD, and you can rejoin.


Best regards, 

Louis
