[Samba] Joining Samba to Upgraded 2003 domain failing

[Travis Wenks]

H Rowland

Thank you for your insight. I have checked over the article and have found
a remnant from the old domain. I think :)
Let's assume the domain is travis.com and the samdom is net.travis.com.
Under this I have a subdomain called _msdcs so I would think this would be
called _msdcs.net.travis.com.
In the RSAT DNS tool I right click and try to delete.
I get "The DNS domain cannot be deleted. This function is not supported on
this system."
So my next logical step is to use samba-tool to remove it.
I cannot wrap my head around how to do so.
I am guessing something like
sudo samba-tool dns delete localhost _msdcs.net.travis.com (but what goes
here)
Thank you in advance for your help
