Hello Matthieu, I am working in with VMs, so it's very easy to deploy and test systems. I shutdown the Samba server and provisioned a 2008R2 server using the same domain name "testdom.com". When I join another 2008R2 server to this domain, it correctly detects one authoritative DNS server. Please let me know if you have any advice. I am surprised that no one has reported this before - I would assume most AD root domains are not provisioned as subdomain. We will be using a subdomain and I only stumbled on this issue trying to resolve the demotion issue, however I am happy help with further testing.
I have opened a bug regarding the problem I am seeing when demoting a Windows Server. https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9429 On Sat, Nov 24, 2012 at 12:42 AM, Matthieu Patou <[email protected]> wrote: > On 11/23/2012 02:31 PM, Thomas Simmons wrote: > >> Thank you Matthieu!
