I am looking for a way to programatically modify DNS settings from outside of my SAMBA4 DCs. I am working on creating a PHP inventory page, which (in an ideal world) would hook into our SAMBA4 domain controllers, allowing us to modify DNS records in the inventory, and then have the backend of the inventory communicate with the DCs over an API and modify the DNS on the DCs. Is it possible that this is something that already exists, or am I going to have to build my own API from scratch? Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide! -- *Taylor Hammerling* | *IT Manager* 2800 Laura Lane | Middleton, WI 53562 *O *(608) 669-9070 *| C *(608) 512-7849 tcsbasys.com | ubiquistat.com

Whatever you mean, you only need to 'modify' the records on one DC, replication will take care of the rest. Rowland
by modify I mean add, change and/or remove DNS records (depending on the values passed to the API). Also, yes I mispoke, we would only be modifying the records on one DC, and replication would take care of the rest.
