[Samba] Solved - was: Re: How to get rid of misspelled DNA entry?

[Peter Serbe]

Easy job with the right tool!

Open Apache Directory Studio, select the LDAP browser -> New Connection

Enter the server/hostname: dc1.samdom.com -> next
Select simple authentication, user: samdom\administrator, password
Check authentication and connect. 

Browse to the corresponding DNS entry:

LDAP-Browser
Root DSE
	DC=DomainDnsZones,DC=samdom,DC=com
		CN=MicrosoftDNS
			DC=1.168.192.in-addr.arpa
				DC=21

See the attribute dnsRecord (here: two of them), which is binary data. 
A double click opens a hex editor, a right clock opens the context 
menu, which allows to delete the offending entry. Delete - and done. 

Thank You again Sebastian for the great tip. 
Maybe LAM would have done the job, too. But it was extremely easy
in Apache Directory Studio. 

Best regards
Peter
