I'm not sure but NT_STATUS_NO_TRUST_SAM_ACCOUNT would seem to imply that the
machine trust account does not exist. There are some other people having
trouble getting samba to join an NT controlled domain. I have only tried with a
samba controlled domain so maybe I can't be of much assistance. If you have
added the machine in to server manager it should just work.
