Dear list, I have a strange problem. In RSAT is had a typo when adding a reverse lookup entry, i.e. I added something like "host.samdo.com" instead of "host.samdom.com". No a reverse lookup yields to entries, the correct one and the misspelled one. :-( Deleting it in RSAT is impossible, as the misspelled entry doesn't show up here. Deleting in by samba-tool is also not possible, as it states erroneously, that the entry wasn't existent. I experimented a bit: it isn't possible to even add an reverse lookup entry with a misspelled domain name. But it should be possible to delete that bogus entry anyway. How can I get rid of my "host.samdo.com" entry? Thank You in advance! & Best regards Peter
Hi, I found a way to delete these ghost entries. All you need is an LDAP tool like Apache Directory Studio. Then you connect via LDAP to the AD. Inside the LDAP tree is a subtree named msdns (or similiar, I'm not able to access my workstation at the moment). There you can find the buggy entry and delete it. Before deleting something it's perhaps a good idea to make a backup of the samba configuration, especially the files under /var/lib/samba/private/sam.ldb.d where the configuration is stored. If you need a detailed howto or somebody wants to add this to the wiki, let me know. Regards Sebastian Am 06.03.2015 um 13:02 schrieb Peter Serbe:> Dear list, > > I have a strange problem.

Currently I'm very busy, but I'll collect that information and try to find a good place for it in our documentation as soon as possible. Regards, Marc
Thank You Sebastian! I wanted to try out LAM, but due to a lack of time I haven't done so far. I will also check Apache Directory Tool and then decide, which one is easier to use (given there is no relevant experience around). I'll report my findings.
