This usually happened when the dns domain was not set in /etc/hosts,
but in your case Stefan, this obviously isn't the case.

Now I usually use Debian, but Debian hasn't got to 4.23.x yet, so I
went to Rocky Linux 10 with Samba from Tranquil IT:

[root at rl10mem ~]# samba -V
Version 4.23.2-tranquilit-1

I Set up a Samba domain member and attempted to join the domain:

[root at rl10mem ~]# net ads join -Uadministrator

and, it worked:

Password for [SAMDOM\administrator]:
Using short domain name -- SAMDOM
Joined 'RL10MEM' to dns domain 'samdom.example.com'

Checking in AD showed two DNs for 'rl10mem':

dn:
DC=rl10mem,DC=samdom.example.com,CN=MicrosoftDNS,DC=DomainDnsZones,DC=samdom,DC=example,DC=com

dn: CN=RL10MEM,CN=Computers,DC=samdom,DC=example,DC=com

So, from my perspective, it still works.
