I’m sorry, but I can’t really comment on your situation, it’s too specific.

hi
i am configure samba domain server but window xp machine unable add to domain controller show following error message
Note: This information is intended for a network administrator. If you are not your network’s administrator, notify the administrator that you received this information, which has been recorded in the file C:\WINDOWS\debug\dcdiag.txt.

The following error occurred when DNS was queried for the service location (SRV) resource record used to locate a domain controller for domain netdruid.com:

The error was: “DNS name does not exist.”
(error code 0x0000232B RCODE_NAME_ERROR)

The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.netdruid.com

Common causes of this error include the following:

- The DNS SRV record is not registered in DNS.

- One or more of the following zones do not include delegation to its child zone:

netdruid.com
com
. (the root zone)

Whoops, I never saw this comment…

Your question is kind of general. Any Linux distribution can be used, but I recommend one which doesn’t update its software all the time, such as Gentoo. A domain controller is something that once it works, should mostly be left untouched.

I advise looking for other documentation, as that is much more informative.
