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

[L.P.H. van Belle]

Hai Jonathan, 

Can you give try the following :
what is the output of hostname -y. 
You probly get the messages " hostname: Local domain name not set. "
Dont worry, should not hurt, but for thesting, you can set : 
sysctl -w kernel.domainname="windows.corp.XXX.com"


and for testing you can try to set you resolv.conf to (
domain windows.corp.XXX.com
search windows.corp.XXX.com
nameserver ip_samba_dc1 
nameserver ip_samba_dc2

Yes.. !! domain and search are mutaliy exclusive..  we know, but try it. 
Restart neworking after above changes. 


The output of /etc/hostname 
( should contain only the (hostname -s)  value )


Can you try the following. 

Put in smb.conf
dns proxy = yes

restart samba. 
Run : testparm -v | grep net , i want to see the output. 

Especialy netbios name = 

Test above out, one at a time. 

I say, start with the dns proxy in smb.conf
Then the resolv.conf 
Then the kernel domain 


Greetz, 
Louis
