Hi,
I'm evaluating to migrate samba 3 domain to samba 4 with AD, but our
environment contains dns names with "_", and in samba wiki appears
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/909264 that you can't use dns names
with "_"
Disallowed charactersDNS host names cannot contain the following characters:
- comma (,)
- tilde (~)
- colon (:)
- exclamation point (!)
- at sign (@)
- number sign (#)
- dollar sign ($)
- percent (%)
- caret (^)
- ampersand (&)
- apostrophe (')
- period (.)
- parentheses (())
- braces ({})
- *underscore (_)*
- white space (blank)
The underscore has a special role, as it is permitted for the first
character in SRV records by RFC definition, but newer DNS servers may also
allow it anywhere in a name. For more details, see:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc959336.aspx.
I have tested samba 3 to samba 4 and seems that computer objectes with "_"
are migrated and we can add dns A with "_"
I have tried to add a cname with "_" and seems thats wokrs, but I'm not
sure If really I can user "_" in computer names and dns names or this
requires to be replaces by "-" befores upgrade...
It is required to rename machiens with "_" and dns A and cname with "_" to
"-", for example... ?
Thanks
