samba - Jun 2017 - How to remove duplicate zone names in Samba AD DNS

hello,

I have thousands of DNS entries like
BA15-1073
CNF:058373e2-f784-458f-8c7b-fbf76fa25694

in my Samba AD. I know that these records are conflicts between AD DC
synchronisation, and that I can remove it safely.

When I list the DNS with the command

samba-tool dns query localhost DOMAIN @ ALL

it appears that there is a \n between the host name (BA15-1073) and the
rest of the name (CNF:058373e2-f784-458f-8c7b-fbf76fa25694).

How could I use 'samba-tool dns delete' to remove this files ? I cannot
resolve the \n problem.

I use Samba 4.1.17 on Debian Wheezy, with Bind9 back end.

Thank you for your help.

I had to stop and think about this and I don't think you can fix it
with samba-tool. I also don't think you can fix it with your version of
Samba.

Can I ask why you are still using Wheezy ?

If you must stick with Wheezy, you can get an up to date version of
Samba here: http://apt.van-belle.nl/

In Fact, if you upgrade to Jessie (either Debian or Devuan), you can
use the packages you will find there.

hi Rowland,

Migration to jessie and the last Samba package (built from source, or from
http://apt.van-belle.nl/) is plannified for Q4.

Thanks for your help.
