As far as I know (and as the HOWTOs say), you cannot join a domain with
Win2K after you've created a Machine Trust Account manually. Rather,
give root a password in /etc/[samba/]smbpasswd (different to his unix
password) and create the trust account on the fly, as described in the
HOWTOs.

That should be on separate lines.
