[Samba] Setup a Samba AD DC as an additional DC

[Barry D. Adkins]

Same problem.  Can't join as AD DC.  Secrets file missing the Machine Secret:
If the problem is MS Exchange, then I'll have to hold off until I can dump Exchange and get Kopano or something else.

Still getting this:
ldb_wrap open of secrets.ldb
Could not find machine account in secrets database: Failed to fetch machine account 
password for DARAM from both secrets.ldb (Could not find entry to match 
filter: '(&(flatname=DARAM)(objectclass=primaryDomain))' base: 'cn=Primary Domains':
No such object: dsdb_search at ../source4/dsdb/common/util.c:4705) and from 
/var/lib/samba/private/secrets.tdb: NT_STATUS_CANT_ACCESS_DOMAIN_INFO

>We know about exchange might be a problem, the others i dont know..
>Check the windows schema levels.

>You could try a clean setup as shown by my howto. 

>Before you install setup ip and hostname in the windows DNS for the linux server. 
>Make sure you use a name thats never used before, just to be sure of no side effects. 

>Then follow this to the letter. ( so use bind9_dlz )

>Line 31, use the windows DC's ip's
>Line 47, use the same time server as the windows DC's. 

>Until line 259, the provisioning line, change that to join.
