This is incorrect as you should never have users with identical uids.
You should mod the entry in etc/group to add your domadmin user to the root
group. This gives it root privs.

Incorrect.
Only someone of root or admin privs should be able to initially join domains
for if any one could, then a potential hacker to do so w/o admin/root privs
and attain further domain trust by doing so.
