I'm trying to join a Linux server running Samba 4.0.4 as a DC to an existing AD domain. The current DC (server1) is running Server 2008 not R2. The Samba server (server2) is using internal DNS. I'm following "Samba4/HOWTO/Join a domain as a DC" from the wiki. The join seems to work, but I'm having problems with DNS replication.

During the join many DNS records for server2 are added to server1's DNS. The A records for server1 and several Windows workstations are also added to server2's DNS.

After the join, I followed the steps listed under "Check required DNS entries of the new host", and I added the records that weren't added during the join. I also ran "samba-tool drs kcc".

A "samba-tool dns query" of the Samba server shows server2 as "Name=server2, Records=0, Children=0" with no corresponding IP address.

"samba-tool drs showrepl server1" shows inbound neighbors, outbound neighbors, and kcc connection objects. "samba-tool drs showrepl server2" shows no outbound neighbors and always ends with "Warning: No NC replicated for Connection".

When I join a Windows 7 workstation to Active Directory, DNS entries are added to server1, but they never show up on server2.

Running "samba_dnsupdate --verbose" shows no errors and ends with "No DNS Updates needed".

Is DNS replication supposed to work between a DC running Server 2008 and Samba4 with internal DNS? There's nothing showing up in the logs about DNS, so what should I do to debug this?

Thanks,
Alan
