[Samba] Failing to join existing AD as DC

[Alexander Harm]

Hello Louis,

I followed your wiki. I got a lot of DNS errors after the installation because samba couldn't find nsupdate.

Should probably be mentioned on this site?

https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Distribution-specific_Package_Installation

For Debian it is: dnsutils

For Fedora/CentOS/RedHat: bind-utils

Reboot A DC, and check again if the dns records are there.  
If your already in the DNS-tool, dont forget to refresh the window after the server reboot.

Which setup did you follow so we can update the info on this.  
Wiki other howto's?  
If you have a link of it, that would be nice.
