First, you must create a domain account using server manager on the domain
controller.  Then make sure your smb.conf file is correct--it should be
set to security=domain, domain server=<insert domain controller here>, and
domain=DOMAINNAME.  Now stop your SMB services and try smbpasswd again:

smbpasswd -j DOMAINNAME -r <insert domain controller here>

Hope that helps.
