The last error sounds like the new error-text for
something, that was called "credential set"-bla in nt4...
(You could have included the german message too)

This basicly means:

You were already connected to the samba-server with some
other user and now you wanted to connect as the admin-user
(root) to join the domain. Did you try to use explorer to
browse your samba-box?

Try to reboot the w2k-box, login and go straight to the
gui-box for joining, and make sure, no drives are connected
or somesuch.


For the first error, I've no ideas... You should check the
logs from samba for obvious error-messages.
