[Samba] After joining domain, Samba uses the workgroup name, not the FQDN when running the net ads command

Tue Dec 1 16:02:37 UTC 2015

Well I got one step farther...

hostname -d and hostname -f now work correctly if I add this line to
/etc/hosts

/etc/hosts
127.0.0.1   localhost
127.0.1.1 freeradius.windows.corp.springventuregroup.com freeradius

But same error on the rpc command. It's still asking DNS for
"_ldap._tcp.pdc._msdcs.WINDOWS"
not "_ldap._tcp.pdc._msdcs.WINDOWS.CORP.XXX.COM"

Can you do a tcpdump on yours and see what the desired behavior is? I used
this command: "sudo tcpdump -vvv -s 0 -l -n port 53 -w dns.pcap". Start the
dump, then run "sudo net rpc info -Uadministrator"
