Thanks Joe!

I've focussed on your changes in particular, I haven't looked at
Bjoern's changes yet.

For your changes, can you either share the join_add_dns_records() with
the code in join.py or trim out the comments to be relevents to the add
computer case?  

It would be great if the preparatory work to change the owner could be
moved inside that function also, to keep the logic in the library
functions and not in the main command.  

Particularly if you can share it with join.py the actual business logic
should be outside the netcmd stuff, and as a re-usable function.  (See
how samdb.newcomputer() isn't inline). 

Thanks!
