When you say 'samba server' are you referring to samba 4.x running in AD 
mode? if so, you do not join it to itself, it is done for you when you 
provision.

If you have a backup from before you 'joined' the server to itself, use 
that, if not move everything (private & sysvol dirs, smb.conf etc) out 
of the way and re-provision.
