On provision, yes, on a join, no, these records are added at first run
by samba_dnsupdate using 'dns_update_list'. If you look at this file,
you will find at line 16:
${IF_RWDC}SRV _ldap._tcp.${DNSDOMAIN} ${HOSTNAME} 389
${IF_RWDC}SRV _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.${DNSDOMAIN} ${HOSTNAME} 389
${IF_RWDC}SRV _ldap._tcp.${DOMAINGUID}.domains._msdcs.${DNSFOREST} ${HOSTNAME} 389
