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.

Cheers,
Steve
