I'm trying to join a freshly compiled 4.0.3 installation as an additional DC to an existing W2K3 AD according to: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/HOWTO/Join_a_domain_as_a_DC I have built samba 4.0.3 on CentOS 6.3 x86_64. I am using the method that describes using the built in dns. I get to the step /usr/local/samba/bin/samba-tool dns add 192.168.1.252 _msdcs.domain.co.il 2d59ac49-1175-4656-943e-d556baa242cb CNAME DC2.domain.co.il -Uadministrator I get the following error message: ERROR(runtime): uncaught exception - (9601, 'WERR_DNS_ERROR_ZONE_DOES_NOT_EXIST') File "/usr/local/samba/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/samba/netcmd/__init__.py", line 175, in _run return self.run(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/local/samba/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/samba/netcmd/dns.py", line 1053, in run 0, server, zone, name, add_rec_buf, None) And, of course, without proper DNS configuration I can not get replication to work. Have I done something wrong? How can I resolve this? Thanks Eli -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
