I think the way you use the net binary worked with *older* Windows versions.

-U expects normally only the username name, without the domain name. I guess 
it worked with older Windows server version but since Windows 2008 we have to 
guess the realm and append it to the username.

To specify the domain you should use -W or don't use it if you join the same 
domain.

I'm not able to test this anymore.
