[Samba] Samba NT Domain Controller Help & Possible Walkthrough Please

[Debug Account]

Hello,

Well a How-To Guide said to use that command after everything is setup. I tried using Windows 2000 Client to join the domain, but it would not, said domain dns lookup failed. Any help?

I am running Samba 2.2.11 on a RedHat Linux 7.3 Server, connected to a network of Windows 2000 & XP Machines. I want to configure Samba to be the Domain Controller for my other machines. Before I was getting an error on a old copy of Samba (2.2.2a i think), then I upgraded to 2.2.11, and when I run the smbpasswd -j domainname , I get this error:

Then why do you want it to join its own domain?
You just need to have domain logons = yes  for a domain controler and 
domain master = yes if this is the primary domain controler (which is 
the case, if this is the first, or the only one domain controler on your 
network).
And then join the clients to this newly created domain.
