Hello Marc,

Upgrade DNS worked properly as you can see below.

---------

samba_upgradedns --dns-backend=BIND9_DLZ
Reading domain information
DNS accounts already exist
No zone file /usr/local/samba/private/dns/EXZA.LOCAL.zone             
         # is this the culprit?
DNS records will be automatically created
DNS partitions already exist
dns-dc account already exists
See /usr/local/samba/private/named.conf for an example configuration 
include file for BIND
and /usr/local/samba/private/named.txt for further documentation 
required for secure DNS updates

------

My /etc/resolv.conf reads as below.

domain exza.local
nameserver 192.168.100.17

ping exza.local timesout, nslookup also times out. Whereas ping 
dc.exza.local responds properly and points to 192.168.100.17

smb.conf is shown below.

---------------

# Global parameters
[global]
         netbios name = DC
         realm = EXZA.LOCAL
         workgroup = EXZA
         # dns forwarder = 192.168.100.1
         server role = active directory domain controller
         idmap_ldb:use rfc2307 = yes
         server services = -dns

[netlogon]
     path = /usr/local/samba/var/locks/sysvol/exza.local/scripts
         read only = No

[sysvol]
         path = /usr/local/samba/var/locks/sysvol
         read only = No

------------------------------------
