• there are duplicate entries for the PDC(maybe for BDC as well)
• can find parameters ${DNSFOREST}, ${DNSDOMAIN}, ${DOMAINGUID}, ${HOSTNAME}, ${NTDSGUID}, ${SITE} by putting a few print statements in samba_dnsupdate

Find Variables

• patch for print statements to easily find variables

• run the following to get just what you need

samba_dnsupdate --verbose | grep "INFO:"

• will spit out the variables needed to be added into DNS
