Hi, We are in the process of migrating our samba AD (4.1.0pre1-GIT-6be458d) to the latest 4.7.0 release. In the process we want to switch from the BIND_DLZ to the internal dns server. I have done some experiments in our test environment and everything seems to work ok, but I'm not sure how to handle the dns backend change. Is it just the case of running samba_upgradedns

(Though, I could've sworn it worked on versions 4.2+ < 4.7. It's on my to-do list to explore this further with different versions.)

Hi, I see https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_Internal_DNS_Back_End#Limitations The internal DNS does not support: * acting as a caching resolver * recursive queries * shared-key transaction signature (TSIG) * stub zones * zone transfers * Round Robin load balancing among DC's but this was relevant for 2018-2019. What limitations remain now? For...

Would be really happy about an answer .... and .... many thanks, blubberbaer

I am planning up upgrading my AD/DC from Samba version 4.8.2 to the most recent version in my Slackware distro which is currently 4.15.13. In previous threads in this maillist I was advised that the best route to achieve this was to add a 2nd domain controller, then promote that one and demote the original. I'm in the process of setting up a 2nd DC to that end. I thought I ask questions as I
