Hello, I'm new to Samba DC and I have a question regarding DNS:
we have DNS and DHCP servers, DNS dynamic updates are controlled by DHCP
when clients request IP addresses. There're a lot of zones in DNS and we
need to create a domain in one of these zones.
If I understand correctly Samba can't use external DNS, you must have
DNS on the same server as Samba, either internal or bind.
The question is: if we move the zone to the Samba server, can we keep
our DHCP-DNS update configuration? We'd like DHCP to be the only one
updating DNS records of all computers including domain members.
