Oh? Which domain do you think he will join?

security = domain, means "join the domain that is given by the workgroup
name"

The configuration below, "security = user" with "domain logons = Yes"
means we should be a PDC. The addition of "os level = 35" might help.

Better to check the output of "testparm" to make sure that the
configuration is error free.

To answer the question asked we would need to know how the MS Windows
machines are configured.
