[Samba] Problem in viewing server hostname when browsing network
I've setup a Ubuntu16.04 server with Samba 4.3.11+dfsg-0ubuntu0.16.04.23.
Everything works fine except for a little problem with reverse "name
resolution": when browsing computer in the networks the server is displayed
as IP address instead of the configured hostname. All the PCs are displayed with
name, only the server has the IP. [1]
Accessing the server via \\hostname works perfectly.
It looks like a DNS problem, but I didn't manage to find out the problem.
Any hint on where to look at would be helpful, thanks.
Samba config:
[global]
server services = s3fs, rpc, nbt, wrepl, ldap, cldap, kdc, drepl, winbindd,
ntp_signd, kcc, dnsupdate
realm = domain.lan
ldap server require strong auth = no
netbios name = SERVER7
workgroup = DOMAIN
server role = active directory domain controller
log level = 5
idmap_ldb:use rfc2307 = yes
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
ea support = yes
[users]
path = /home/users/
read only = no
[profiles]
comment = Users profiles
path = /home/profiles
read only = no
browsable = no
BIND is configured manually. This is the BIND config for the 10.0.0 zone:
$TTL 86400
@ IN SOA samba.domain.lan samba.domain.lan (
1997022705
28800
14400
3600000
86400 )
NS samba.server7.
NS samba.domain.lan.
NS server01.domain.com.
NS mailing.domain.com.
; IN NS 10.0.0.7
2 PTR server02.domain.com.
14 PTR mailing.domain.com.
7.0.0.10.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR server7.
It happens from all computers.
C:\Users\administrator.DOMAIN>nslookup server7.domain.lan
Server: samba.domain.lan
Address: 10.0.0.7
Nome: server7.domain.lan
Addresses: 10.0.0.7

This is the BIND config for the 10.0.0 zone:And there is most likely your problem, you have broken your dns, the zones are stored in AD. Try reading this: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setting_up_a_BIND_DNS_Server> > > It happens from all computers. > > C:\Users\administrator.DOMAIN>nslookup server7.domain.lan > Server: samba.domain.lanWhy isn't 'server7' replying ? Probably because of the incorrectly set up dns. Rowland
