I use our (buy-2-get-one-free-at-the-local-supermarket brand) ADSL router. Yeah, I know. It's just plain lazy.

Hi Rowland. Hi everyone Your reply gave me the clue I needed. When the fileserver joined the domain I got a DNS update error that the update for hh32 failed. I made it a fixed IP and added an A record hh32.hh3.site and the CNAME hh32 to the DC using samba-tool. Now it works although it worries me that net ads join on a Linux box does not update DNS correctly. For the record (jejeje) I may add that adding Linux clients that are DHCP (i.e. not crucial file servers) also get the same failed DNS update message upon joining, but thereafter work fine.
