[Samba] Failing to join existing AD as DC

[Alexander Harm]

OK, DNS is solved, I had to install dnsutils package on Debian for the DNS updates to work properly.


But the non-existence of the Samba DCs in AD Users and Computers persists.

OK, did everything as suggested, re-installed and joined the Samba instances to AD. Worked flawlessly so far.

However, there are two things I noticed which bother me a bit. On the Windows DC:

DNS Manager: the two Samba DCs are not listed as nameservers for the domain

AD Users and Computers: the two Samba DCs do neither appear in Domain Controllers nor under Computers

They both appear in AD Sites & Services correctly and as mentioned above, everything seems to work just fine.

Question: should I simply add them manually as nameservers (makes sense to me) and as domain controllers (probably makes no difference)?

I was just making sure ;-)

I am going now to the Samba 'join' wiki page to ensure it says 'do not
provision before attempting a join' ;-)
