You can need at least 3.3.2. Both 3.3.1 and 3.3.0 cannot join.

Remember that Samba 3.3.2, 3.3.3 and 3.3.4 needs extra settings:

 HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters
  RequireSignOrSeal = 0
  RequireStrongKey = 0

Samba 3.3.5 or higher needs only the settings below and must not be
set the setting above.

HKLM\System\CCS\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters
  DWORD  DomainCompatibilityMode = 1
  DWORD  DNSNameResolutionRequired = 0
