Your sequence of command looks iffy. Try this... and also send through a 
copy of the global section of your smb.conf file.

net time set -I 192.168.0.xyz                                    ------ 
Better to have the servers synchronised with NTP.
net ads join -U Administrator%password
winbindd
getent passwd

Note smbd and nmbd do not need to be running to try the getent. The rpc 
commands are for systems where ADS integration is not beeing attempted.

Also provide what version of Samba your are running, the platform you 
are running one (Linux, Solaris, ...) and OS version. Plus what version 
of Windows Server 2003 are you running with what Service Packs and hot 
fixes.
