root@dc1:~ # samba-tool dns query localhost ct.dummy.co.za qa ALL -U administrator Cannot do GSSAPI to an IP address Password for [CT\administrator]: Name=, Records=1, Children=0 A: 192.168.1.25 (flags=f0, serial=110, ttl=3600) Name=biz, Records=1, Children=0 CNAME: qa.ct.dummy.co.za. (flags=f0, serial=12, ttl=3600) Name=discovery, Records=0, Children=0 Name=embed, Records=1, Children=0 CNAME: qa.ct.dummy.co.za. (flags=f0, serial=13, ttl=3600) Name=pub, Records=1, Children=0 CNAME: qa.ct.dummy.co.za. (flags=f0, serial=16, ttl=3600) Name=www, Records=1, Children=0 CNAME: qa.ct.dummy.co.za. (flags=f0, serial=31, ttl=3600) I created "discovery" as a CNAME of the server called qa.ct.dummy.co.za in the same way as the others (via the snap-in), but... 1. I cannot see "discovery" in the snap-in list (I see it shows no records and no children unlike the others) 2. If I try and add "discovery" again via the snap-in it says already exists Because I cannot see it in the snap-in, I cannot delete it via the snap-in. So there are 2 issues that are problemetic: A. why can't I see it in the ms snap-in like the others; and B. I can't find any way to get rid of the entry using Samba so that I can re-add it (hopefully successfully)
I should probably mention that even though "invisible" within the snap-in, DNS resolution does appear to still work for discovery.qa.ct.dummy.co.za >nslookup discovery.qa.ct.dummy.co.za Server: dc1.ct.dummy.co.za Address: 192.168.1.3 Name: qa.ct.dummy.co.za Address: 192.168.1.25 Aliases: discovery.qa.ct.dummy.co.za
