[Samba] ERROR_DNS_UPDATE_FAILED and NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL

[Bob of Donelson Trophy]

Once again, Bob is in 'the land of unknown bind knowledge.' 

What type of data am I adding? 

Shouldn't dns_update be run when adding the member server? 

Is this a "simple-bind-dn"? 

hum-m-m-m!

The member server on "real hardware" cannot join, well sort of. When I "join", I get: net ads join -U Administrator Enter Administrator's password: Using short domain name -- DTS***M Joined 'DTMBR01' to dns domain 'dts***m.lan' DNS Update for dtmember01.dts***m.lan failed: ERROR_DNS_UPDATE_FAILED DNS update failed: NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL And when I "leave", I get: net ads leave -U Administrator Enter Administrator's password: Deleted account for 'DTMBR01' in realm 'DTS***M.LAN' So, I look for what where?
