No problem, but when looking at the zentyal link you provided, I found
that someone called 'imrelaszlo ' posted a link to:
https://doc.zentyal.org/en/directory.html#know-limitations

Where it says this :

    Your hostname can not match your NETBIOS name, the NETBIOS name is
generated using the left part of the domain, for example, if your
hostname is ‘zentyal’ your domain can not be ‘zentyal.lan’, but it
could be ‘zentyal-domain.lan’

Which should either be:

    The NETBIOS name must match your short hostname.

Or:

    Your NETBIOS domain name cannot match your computers hostname, the
NETBIOS domain name is usually generated using the left part of the
domain, for example, if your FQDN is ‘dc1.zentyal.lan’ your NETBIOS
domain can not be ‘dc1.zentyal.lan’ or 'zentyal.lan but it could be
‘zentyal’ or anything you like as long as it is a single word 15
characters or less.

The 'netbios name' and 'netbios domain name' are different things.
