I have had success with the method described at the end of the following thread. It involves adding
three lines to dhclient.conf.

Note that only the Forward Lookup Zone is updated; PTR records are not.
However, this simple solution has been sufficient for me.

Not sure if you need to export the key. If you run 'net ads dns register -P'
it will use the machine account. You can put that in the script that runs
when there is a network change. I'm not near a machine right now, but Debian
has it in /etc/network/.

As is known, Samba creates or updates AD DNS record only when it has joining
to domain. When OS gets a new IP address via DHCP, there is no method for
automatically DNS upgate with Samba.
It's possible to update DNS with nsupdate-gss script, but it requests
Kerberos
TKEY, derived through kinit utility or pam_winbind module. In both cases, a
domain admin password requests.

However, Windows updates DNS using machine account. I think, if Samba
exports
a machine key somehow, it may be used for automatically DNS update via
nsupdate-gss.

Is someone knows how to export a machine key from Samba?
