Samba 4.0.5 AD DC, Isc-DHCP-Server and DDNS

[lingpanda]

The more I dig into the dynamic update issue with the internal DNS server the more I think its a lost cause. I don't think it's ready for production status. I think I might have to look at using bind.

Im currently using 4 DC with 100+ users in production status. Using Windows and Ubuntu clients. I made sure to create a lenghtly tutorial for myself. +1 for Toxic's write up! It's always nice to see more tutorials out in the wild.

Lingpanda: His tutorial is for samba 4.0.5. Is yours for 4.0.0 alpha18 or other versions? If so I would like to have a look too, if it's possible?

JnPson it was for 4.0.0. Not Alpha. It's a mash up of text from several blogs and forum posts. I take no credit for it. Let me go thru it to make sure nothing personal or confidential is in the doc and I will post. It's for Ubuntu 12.04. I find myself constantly adding to it.

As requested. "My" tutorial.

Thank you. I will read it.
