samba - Mar 2022 - :Domain Join Fail with this error "NT_STATUS_CANT_ACCESS_DOMAIN_INFO" - (samba-4.15.4)

Hi,
Thank you for your reply,

I used samba internal DNS. How do I update the DNS? and How do I fix this
issue?

Thanks & Regards,
IT Team

It isn't the dns that needs updating, it the AD dns schema that needs
updating. Before W2k3R2, AD used a different dns schema and when an
early Windows Domain was upgraded the dns should also have been
upgraded, but a lot were not and Windows was happy with this. However,
Samba AD insists on the later dns schema. Follow the info that Louis
posted.
