You don't have to use the built in DNS server in Samba. You can use BIND - https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/BIND9_DLZ_DNS_Back_End https://wiki.samba.org/index

- amaccuish 8y agoYe, I find the inbuilt one more reliable, and i've seen a ppt which says bind_dlz is a horrible hack and they'll stop it at some point. Also that doesn't affect what record types can be stored and manipulated in AD.
- gerdesj 8y agoI've seen a similar thing ("and they'll stop it at some point"). If you need DNS functionality beyond the Samba implementation then I would suggest having a separate BIND or PDNS server that all clients point at and that collates the DNS view that you wish them to have. A GPO will get them to update records on your Samba DNS and your PDNS or BIND or whatever can do the rest.
- amaccuish 8y agoNice thinking. I'll give that a think, thanks!
