That is exactly why I was asking. Because I have two DNS entries for the DC, one
with the long hostname and one with the "netbios name". Those are
created during
domain provisioning. So if there is already a A record for the long name, what 
use is the short name?

But if this is needed for AD to work properly, then so be it.

I guess this also answers my third question, it seems there is no way to set the
netbios name during provisioning/join.

Thanks for your help, Rowland!

Kind Regards,
Johannes

I find 100s of references to 'tuning' samba based servers, and the 
like.? But what I need is actual throughput statistics as an on-going 
measurement.? Thus stress tools are not applicable, nor is forced IO, 
need to 'watch' the Samba performance over time. Was surprised that 
smbstatus does not do this?? Would seem logical for it or similar tool 
to do so?? There are various methods to watch just basic network 
interface send/receive throughput, as an example so, surely there is 
some way to do this for Samba.? I did find a few commercial solutions, 
but no free methods?? CLI method would be nice, since I want to forward 
statistics into Node Red.
