Active Directory Domain Controller via Samba/CentOS 6.5

[alexandervj]

I set up an active directory with Samba/CentOS 6.5 and have a couple problems..

when I run dcdiag /s:[server-name] it gives me a bunch of errors, one main one is when it is testing the server it says

"The host ... could not be resolved to an IP address. Check the DNS server, DHCP, server name, etc. Neither the server name nor the Guid DNS name could be resolved by DNS. Check that the server is up and is registerred correctly with the DNS Server."

Also when testing the DNS I get the following results (i only get the correct results when using [domain].local for the first two and [domain].local.com for the last)

# host -t SRV _ldap._tcp.[domain].local.
_ldap._tcp.mydomain.com has SRV record 0 100 389 dc-01.[domain].local.

# host -t SRV _kerberos._udp.[domain].local.
_kerberos._udp.mydomain.com has SRV record 0 100 88 dc-01.[domain].local.

# host -t A samba.[domain].local.com.
samba.[domain].local.com has address ...blah blah blah

if I put

# host -t A samba.[domain].local

I get

Host samba.[domain].local not found:

Also when I navigate to \\[servername]\sysvol it shows up, but when I go to \\[servername]\netlogon it goes to the right place but there is no file there. Sometimes I get an error trying to use the group policies management tool saying the server does not exist, or cant be contacted.. even though I'm currently on the domain. Other times it works fine

Any ideas? Thanks
