It could be a difference in host command versions (I have version 9.11.37), as
well as my version of Samba on the current DC is very old (4.8.2).  It seems to
me to get your results the host command has to be aware of the Samba DC config.
The host version on my "new" DC is 9.16.42.

My results when running 'host -t A':

# host -t A 
Usage: host [-aCdilrTvVw] [-c class] [-N ndots] [-t type] [-W time]
            [-R number] [-m flag] hostname [server]
       -a is equivalent to -v -t ANY
       -c specifies query class for non-IN data
       -C compares SOA records on authoritative nameservers
       -d is equivalent to -v
       -i IP6.INT reverse lookups
       -l lists all hosts in a domain, using AXFR
       -m set memory debugging flag (trace|record|usage)
       -N changes the number of dots allowed before root lookup is done
       -p specifies the port on the server to query
       -r disables recursive processing
       -R specifies number of retries for UDP packets
       -s a SERVFAIL response should stop query
       -t specifies the query type
       -T enables TCP/IP mode
       -U enables UDP mode
       -v enables verbose output
       -V print version number and exit
       -w specifies to wait forever for a reply
       -W specifies how long to wait for a reply
       -4 use IPv4 query transport only
       -6 use IPv6 query transport only

It looks like a hostname is required.

The "prohibited character" error seems really odd. I found this: 
https://bind-users.isc.narkive.com/9nA0Aqea/idn-dig-and-underscore which is a
very similar problem related to the underscore. However, unlike the author
'dig'
works for me, albeit it does give a warning about the .local. Perhaps this is
part of the problem?

If I remove the underscore from the

the 'host -t A 0d2...' command does not give the "prohibited

My local is en_US.UTF-8 and TZ is EDT -0400.

Is not being able to run 'host -t A' a show stopper here? The wiki
'host -t CNAME'
gave, as expected:

# host -t CNAME 0d2a3ba9-4ade-45de-85c7-321ba69caee0._msdcs.hprs.local.
Host 0d2a3ba9-4ade-45de-85c7-321ba69caee0._msdcs.hprs.local. not found:
3(NXDOMAIN)

and when trying to add with 'samba-tool' I got:

# samba-tool dns add MAIL _msdcs.hprs.local 0d2a3ba9-4ade-45de-85c7-321ba69caee0
CNAME DC1.hprs.local -Uadministrator

which you seemed to think was a bogus error with
WERR_DNS_ERROR_RECORD_ALREADY_EXISTS.
Nevertheless the ojectGUID CNAME record was not added.

So, is there another way to add this record? Perhaps ldbedit'ing some .ldb
file?

Was your 'host -t A' suggestion intended to be another way to get this
done? If
so, I can update my BIND package to a newer version which does not have the
"prohibited character" issue. I have it on good authority from the
"father" of
Slackware himself that I should be able to upgrade this package w/o too much
difficulty.
