[Samba] samba4 Administering DNS, 'WERR_INTERNAL_DB_ERROR'

[Denis Morejon Lopez]

I have got 1383, 'WERR_INTERNAL_DB_ERROR'  error while adding an 'A' 
record using the following command

samba-tool dns add localhost dtcf.etecsa.cu PC012819 A 192.168.10.228 -U 
denis.morejon  (I am a 'domain admins' member)

But It only happens with some hostnames. As if they already were there 
hidden.

The original problem was that I realized that some windows hosts were 
not updating their hostnames  with dns.
