Hi Jakob, problems are, as far as I am aware, domain and search are 
different and my ISP thought it was a good idea to supply a router where 
you cannot change/set most of what you need for an AD domain, including 
the dns domain name. I am going to have to get a better router.

I know that I could just rip out the entire Ubuntu 22.04 dns stack and 
set it up manually, but I am trying to work with what Ubuntu supplies, 
if I can :-)

Thanks for the info

Rowland

Hi Rowland,

In my Ubuntu installations I use Netplan to set all network configuration,
including dns servers and search domain, and leave resolv.conf alone. Works well
and out of the box at least for domain member servers as I use Debian for domain
controllers.
