Description Rick Lochner 2019-05-05 19:56:52 UTC
When joining an active directory domain with "samba-tool domain join --dns-backend=BIND9_DLZ...", if the host name of the joining computer is lower case, e.g. dc2, an account gets created for dns-DC2 (uppercase), not dns-dc2.

This appears to prevent dynamic dns updates from working.

A workaround is rather simple.  If an "samba_upgradedns --dns-backend=SAMBA_INTERNAL" is run followed by an "samba_upgradedns --dns-backend=BIND9_DLZ" the account gets recreated properly.

Creating a domain with "samba-tool domain provision" does correctly create a lower-case dns host name.

Hai, 

I will add the following, because it directly related to this. 
Tested: Debian 9 with samba 4.10.2 bind9_dlz. 


If you run:  
samba-tool ldapcmp --filter="whenChanged,dc,DC,cn,CN"
Works fine and does not error. 

That part needes to have a look at also, i mean, 
the filter part, but the need a fix at the same point as the hostname. 


 samba-tool ldapcmp --filter="whenChanged"  .. results in ..

i've gotten one error in the first run just after :  Comparing [DNSFOREST] context...

but after 4-5x retrying this, i keep getting sucess. Result for [DNSFOREST]: SUCCESS

The other filter tests. 
 samba-tool ldapcmp --filter="cn,CN"
