The OP basically did that manually, but it didn't change the record in
AD.
The record is an 'A' record, but 'samba-tool dns update' will not
change it, because it claims the zone does not exist. The record has
this DN:

DC=h.root-servers.net,DC=RootDNSServers,CN=MicrosoftDNS,DC=DomainDnsZones,DC=samdom,DC=example,DC=com

So the zone seems to be 'RootDNSServers' but this doesn't seem to
exist :-(
