samba4 as DC in 2008 R2 Forest

[Scott Smith]

I am attempting to join samba4 as a DC in a 2008 R2 functional level forest. I have followed the samba4/HOWTO up to before the provisioning step and then followed samba4/HOWTO/Join a domain as a DC. I am using the newest version from the git repository. When I get to the join the existing domain step I receive an error about being unable to convert objects when I use the samba-tool join command.

Here is the output:

./samba-tool join galt.com DC -Uadministrator --realm=galt.com
writeable DC for domain 'galt.com'
Found DC jupiter.galt.com

I thought the error was because of the functional level so tried to raise the samba4 domain and forest functional level by provisioning samba4 and then using the samba-tool domainlevel script. The function level raises successfully but when I attempt to join as a DC with samba-tool join I receive the same error. Am I going about this process correctly?
Any help is appreciated.
