The account you use to create a domain member account (join the domain)
must have UID=0 on the UNIX end. ie: root.

Also, you must have an appropriate script in place for the smb.conf
[gloabl] parameter:

	add machine script =

If using the smbldap-tools script you need to have the configuration file
for it correctly set up also, including embedding the correct domain SID.
