[Samba] Separate DNS hostname on client computers than AD domain name
Hello! Is it possible to assign a DNS domain name that is different from the AD domain's own domain? So I want my AD domain to be example.tld, but I'd like the machines FQDN to reflect location, so server1.eu.example.tld, server2.us.example.tld. Will I need to set up a forest and two separate domains (making it 3 domains), or can this be accomplished in some other way? I tried looking at SPN/UPN, but not sure if it's related. Also, is it even possible with Samba to do forest + domains? -- /Simon

As long as that is all you want there is no need for a forest. - Kees

I tried looking at SPN/UPN, but not sure if it's related.SPN's have nothing to do with location.> Also, is > it even possible with Samba to do forest + domains?No, Samba AD only does one forest and the domain is the same as the forest.
