[Samba] can't add w2K client to samba domain

[Josh Hiner]

Reboot computer and type this at a command prompt:

net use * /d

This will disconnect all active connections from your computer. Please type
this to make sure then try to connect. This is the exact error message you
get if you are attached to shares while trying to connect to the PDC.
