I joined a Fedora Linux box running Samba 4.1.5 to a Windows Server 2000
domain controller as an additional domain controller with the command:
samba-tool domain join adi.com DC -Uadministrator --realm=adi.com
--dns-backend=BIND9_DLZ
The messages indicated that this was mostly sucessfull with the exception
of the message:
NO DNS zone information found in source domain, not replicating DNS
Afterward I noticed that the Windows box had not added any new records in
it's DNS and the samba log contains multiple errors about updating the DNS.
I ran samba_dnsupdate --verbose to see what it would say and it listed
many missing resords and then output errors about trying to add them.
Here are three sample errors:

Any ideas about how to fix this short of entering each record by hand on the
Windows box?
