I think John misunderstood the question.

Generally, when you have things set up right, you could probably join
machines to a domain simply by using the Windows Networking Wizard from
'System' control panel. 

The implementation of smb.conf / etc. will differ on different OS's and
the type of 'backend' storage you specify for holding this info and of
course, the version of samba that you are using - none of which you
included.

Generally, the way I have had success is to add root to the smb
database...
smbpasswd -a root

Then when it asks you the name of someone who is authorized to add the
account to the domain, it would be root with whatever password you
assigned to root.
