Thanks John that was it.
To join the domain
Create the computer in the Win2K Computer and User Admin app.
Then in VMS
$ mc samba_root:[bin]smbpasswd -r My-PDC -j My-Domain "-U" Username -s
It prompts you for a password on the account used... Bingo
If anything I would have guessed VMS put everything in UPPER case unless
quoted. Thanks again.

Unless you have set your process conventions otherwise, DCL defaults to
converting all arguments that are not in quotes to lower case.
