In an MS Active Directory domain, domain controllers are in a separate
OU and separate group called (oddly enough ...) "Domain Controllers".
:-) They are not in "Domain Computers" group or "Computers" OU; those
computers are only for member servers or member workstations.

I'm not using Samba as a domain controller in a Windows Server-less
domain, so maybe the situation is different there. Or if the directory
service in use is not MS ADS.
