As you have noticed, we are very good at adding DNS records, but never

Please file a bug about the left-behind DNS stuff, we really should
clean that up.

There is this menu option "cleanup old resource entries" in the DNS
snap-in, guess it's normal AD behaviour. :-)
Not it's not, there is KB about DNS server about how to clean old
records that were set by a client via DDNS
This does not yet work against an Samba4 AD DC. But I'll file an
bugreport.
I'm not 100% sure that we implement everything that is needed for a
client to pickup the correct site, so you might see some issues still.
It had happened in very seldom cases with the samba3/bind/openldap
before. In the Samba4 test environment it happened only once after i
had removed the mentioned SRV records pointig to site2's dc in site1
folders. I'll report back if it happens on an regular basis.
As an last step i renamed the site "Default-First-Site-Name" into
"site1". Restarted the samba services at both sites check
replication. But there are still a few DNS entries left whom i
deleted manual.
It's really not a good idea to delete rename the default-First site
lots of Windows admins don't advise to do so, you'd better leave it
empty. Matthieu
So to be on the safe side you recommend i create two new sites and
assign the two servers to them, leaving Default-First-Site-Name with
on assigned server.
I thought it is safer to leave the first server in that default site
because i had read the sites thing is a work in progress. Renaming it
was somethin i did after abit of online research which mentioned it is
safe and not forbidden. Beside that now empty structure elements in
dns the test environment is still work functional.

Beside all that for me samba4 is a great step forward an will simplify
things alot compared to the previous samba3/bind/openldap solution
Ok good to know.
