[Samba] problem joining the domain

[Michael Rasmussen]

Yes, the machine pre-existed in the domain.  As in, "Domain Admin, please
add chain so I can have it join the domain." Which domain admin did.  

In truth, we tried joining the domain first, that failed so we had the admin
add chain to the domain they tried to join and . . .
