AD domain with 2 samba DCs and a number of samba member fileservers. Windows 10 member workstations in the domain fail to update their DNS records and regularly produce error messages in the log on one of the DCs: client @0x7f5ccc11d960 192.168.2.61#51132: update 'microlynx.org/IN' denied client @0x7f5ccc11d960 192.168.2.61#50486: update '2.168.192.in-addr.arpa/IN' denied Thinking that the client cannot update the records because it didn't own them, I deleted the DNS entry for the workstation in DNS and issued the command 'ipconfig /registerdns' on one of the Windows 10 machines. This failed and the logs above were repeated. The dns backend is Bind9_DLZ. named.conf.options on the DC is as follows: options { directory "/var/cache/bind"; auth-nxdomain yes; notify no; empty-zones-enable no; allow-query { 127.0.0.1; 192.168.2.0/24; }; allow-update { 127.0.0.1; 192.168.2.0/24; }; allow-recursion { 127.0.0.1; 192.168.2.0/24; }; allow-transfer { none; }; listen-on port 53 { any; }; listen-on-v6 port 53 { none; }; forwarders { 192.168.2.1; // asus router }; dnssec-enable no; dnssec-validation no; // for updates to AD zone # self-compiled version: tkey-gssapi-keytab "/usr/local/samba/bind-dns/dns.keytab"; tkey-gssapi-keytab "/var/lib/samba/bind-dns/dns.keytab"; minimal-responses yes; }; The smb.conf on the DC is as follows: [global] netbios name = TIGER-DB realm = MICROLYNX.ORG server role = active directory domain controller server services = s3fs, rpc, nbt, wrepl, ldap, cldap, kdc, drepl, winbindd, ntp_signd, kcc, dnsupdate workgroup = MICROLYNX # prevent CUPS errors in syslog printcap name = /dev/null load printers = no # disable smb1 # these are now defaults in version 4.11.x # client min protocol = smb2_02 # server min protocol = smb2_02 # add the following two lines for testing - remove for production # winbind enum users = yes # winbind enum groups = yes # following added to see if it prevents smbd from starting (as it does on pi4b) # yes it does! # bind interfaces only = yes # interfaces = lo br0 # allow clients to update their DNS records - not working! allow dns updates = nonsecure # allow AD users to log on template shell = /bin/bash template homedir = /home/%D/%U winbind refresh tickets = yes log file = /var/log/samba/log.samba log level = 1 [sysvol] path = /var/lib/samba/sysvol read only = No [netlogon] path = /var/lib/samba/sysvol/microlynx.org/scripts read only = No OS is Debian Buster, samba is version 4.12.3 (Louis' repo). Any suggestions on how to get this working? TIA, Roy
