Unfortunate since that's exactly what I saw. I've no answers but I will keep watch in hope that you have better luck solving it than I did.

See ya...

Well that's the thing, I can only replicate DNS changes from WinDC to Samba, but not in other way.
I can't even update DNS records on Samba side, only on Windows side.

I managed to figure out an error on Samba caused by RPC call:
dnsserver: Found DNS zone .
Failed to find DNS Zones in CN=MicrosoftDNS,DC=ForestDnsZones,DC=Radio101,DC=local

Now I am surfing on the web trying to find some kind of solution.

All best,

Interesting. Are Forest and Domain records being replicated in both directions from all DCs? It always worked from the WinDC to the S4DC but not in the other direction. Also, were you able to use the WIN DNS MMC to examine the DNS records on any of the Samba DCs? If so, you are probably close to having it working; something I never managed to do.

See ya...

Thanks for such quick reply,

I have just executed "samba-tool drs showrepl" command and it seems that Forest and Domain LDAP DIT are being replicated successfully. But I still doubt that it can not be fixed since all RR records that are added to w2k3 server are successfully propagated and present. All name resolution queries on samba reflect the state of w2k3 DNS.

Is there some way to debug RPC calls so that we can more precisely locate the error?


All best,

This issue has been discussed at length before with no resolution to my knowledge. If you use "samba-tool drs showrepl", you will probably notice that Forest and Domain DNS is not being replicated to/from all DCs. Additionally, if you use Win2003 DNS MMC, you will not be able to detect that DNS is running on the Samba DCs nor that they are DCs at all. I have only tested this using internal Samba DNS but have found no workaround and have dropped trying to use Samba to demote/replace a Win2003 DC for now.

Good luck,

Hello,

i have an issue with existing installation of samba4 domain controller
that is specific to dns managment.
In the domain I have two samba4 4.0.7 and one windows 2003 server that I
plug periodically to manage the dns.
All fsmo roles are transfered to samba.

All aspects of the domain work perfectly, except one, the samba-tool dns
commands do not work.
All commands when executed on samba server return "ERROR(runtime):
uncaught exception - (9717, 'WERR_DNS_ERROR_DS_UNAVAILABLE')" error. The
same command pointed to windows server works fine.
All commands that add hosts to window are replicated to samba instances.

The domain is functioning at 2003 native level (reported by windows
tool), but samba can't figure out the level.
Also when i try to demote the w2k3 server i get the error that "Active
Directory could not find another domain controller to transfer the
remaining data in the directory partition
DC=DomainDnsZones,Dc=example,dc=com"

Could you please point me to the right resources so that i can resolve
my current issues.

Thanks in advance, and I wish best to all Samba community.

ps
If you need some kind of help, such as testing rc's in certain
configuration, please contact me.
