bind not talking to Active Directory (1165 Event ID)

[Juan Miscaro]

I am trying to set up a typical DDNS, DHCP, AD arrangement.  So far,
DDNS & DHCP is working.  I am now encountering some resistance in
having DDNS & AD work together.

I'm running bind 9 on Ubuntu 7.04 and my AD is with a Windows 2003
Server.

The bind is master for the various AD SRV domains (ex:
_tcp.dev.example.com).  From /etc/bin/named.conf.local:

zone "_tcp.dev.example.com" IN {
       type master;
       file "/etc/bind/_tcp.dev.example.com.zone";
       allow-update { <windows server IP address>; };
       notify yes;
};

When I try to register my AD records on the Windows server (ipconfig
//registerdns) it complains:

Event Type: Warning
Event Source: DnsApi
Event Category: None
Event ID: 11165
Date: 10/10/2007
Time: 9:04:53 AM
User: N/A
Computer: <windows server hostname>
Description:
The system failed to register host (A) resource records (RRs) for
network adapter
with settings:

Adapter Name : {88065037-BE3E-4EA6-9E1E-FBC90CE6B231}
Host Name : <windows server hostname>
Primary Domain Suffix : dev.example.com
DNS server list :
<bind server IP address>
Sent update to server : <?>
IP Address(es) :
<windows server IP address>


What I'm wondering about is this line:

Sent update to server : <?>

I can provide more information for those interested in helping.
