[Samba] Naming conventions with samba4 & AD with computer with "_"
Hi,
I'm evaluating to migrate samba 3 domain to samba 4 with AD, but our
environment contains dns names with "_", and in samba wiki appears
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/909264 that you can't use dns names
with "_"
Disallowed charactersDNS host names cannot contain the following characters:
- comma (,)
- tilde (~)
- colon (:)
- exclamation point (!)
- at sign (@)
- number sign (#)
- dollar sign ($)
- percent (%)
- caret (^)
- ampersand (&)
- apostrophe (')
- period (.)
- parentheses (())
- braces ({})
- *underscore (_)*
- white space (blank)
The underscore has a special role, as it is permitted for the first
character in SRV records by RFC definition, but newer DNS servers may also
allow it anywhere in a name. For more details, see:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc959336.aspx.
I have tested samba 3 to samba 4 and seems that computer objectes with
"_"
are migrated and we can add dns A with "_"
I have tried to add a cname with "_" and seems thats wokrs, but
I'm not
sure If really I can user "_" in computer names and dns names or this
requires to be replaces by "-" befores upgrade...
It is required to rename machiens with "_" and dns A and cname with
"_" to
"-", for example... ?
Thanks

Hi, I am testing to migrate samba 3 nt domain to samba 4 ad, It is sure to keep machines with hostname "_" and dns records a or cname with "_" I am reading some information, but nothing clear if we can keep this old convention.... We have made some test and seems that any problem is generated, but we are not sure if we can continue with this naming convention... thanks 2016-10-10 19:25 GMT+02:00 Trenta sis <trenta.sis at gmail.com>:> Hi, > > I'm evaluating to migrate samba 3 domain to samba 4 with AD, but our > environment contains dns names with "_", and in samba wiki appears > https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/909264 that you can't use dns > names with "_" > > Disallowed charactersDNS host names cannot contain the following > characters: > > - comma (,) > - tilde (~) > - colon (:) > - exclamation point (!) > - at sign (@) > - number sign (#) > - dollar sign ($) > - percent (%) > - caret (^) > - ampersand (&) > - apostrophe (') > - period (.) > - parentheses (()) > - braces ({}) > - *underscore (_)* > - white space (blank) > > The underscore has a special role, as it is permitted for the first > character in SRV records by RFC definition, but newer DNS servers may also > allow it anywhere in a name.

Hai, About the underscore ... Think in android phones, default names, lots have _ in the name. And if you use Bind9 DLZ, add also : check-names ignore; I think its good to add this to the bind_dlz samba wiki.
