This has come up before and it is usually a difference in the dns
records.

No, just thought I would mention it, I know that at one time, for a
short time, Microsoft recommended using '.local', but they soon
stopped. Your problem now is that you will probably not be able to use
Avahi on your Linux machines or connect any MacOS machines.

Rowland, when I try to query the dns zone directly from the samba
domain controller (connected over ssh) I obtain this error message:

Got NTLMSSP neg_flags=0x62088215
ERROR(runtime): uncaught exception - (3221422092, 'The stub received bad
data.')
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/samba/netcmd/__init__.py", line

    return self.run(*args, **kwargs)
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/samba/netcmd/dns.py", line

    buflen, res = dns_conn.DnssrvEnumRecords2(
                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/samba/netcmd/dns.py", line 119,
in f
    return attr(*args)
           ^^^^^^^^^^^


The command used to do the query was:
samba-tool dns query -U username localhost example.local @ ALL

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance
