Well, prior to reading this I actually got things changed over to use security = ads insead of domain, and re-joined the domain using kerberos. The DNS issue was exactly the same. > Since you say that the machine object shows the name in lowercase, I > assume you did not create the object previously. No, I did not. I deleted it using active directory users and groups before rejoining with kerberos also. > If looking in DNS management does not show you machine in the > forward zone, How can I check for sure? wbinfo -I and -N work, btw, but not DNS resolution. I do not have any access to the Windows DNS stuff as it runs on servers I cannot log in to. Well, actually, I have a non-admin login right on one of them, but I don't think I can do anything useful with that. > try on the Samba server "sudo net ads dns register -P" That will try to > register the machine again in DNS.

I deleted the computer from AD, and pre-created it using uppercase letters, then re-joined the domain using net ads join.

I'm assuming this is something on the Windows DC that is outside of my control. Is it possible to set up a (linux-based) DNS server for our site that can resolve some custom things I put in, but passes anything it doesn't know an answer for (e.g. any Windows hostname) to the Windows DNS?
