I jumped in #samba-technical last night and got it figured out with a Samba
dev.  I did use that wiki, but it turns out the issue was with my Samba4
PDC's hostname: either it had too many characters or hyphens are not
supported in a NETBIOS hostname.  Either way my machines are happily
connected to my new domain.

Thanks for the help,
Arthur
