Might try
~   net rpc getsid
Which is supposed to "fetch the domain sid into the local secrets.tdb"


I've never used these commands.  I've always viewed them as either
useful for recovery from crash without backup, or setting the SID of a
backup samba PDC.  For a workstation, even if you manage to get the
SID's to agree with a prior install, the machine password on the PDC and
on the workstation wouldn't agree.  If it's new workstation name, there
won't be an account for the workstation on the PDC.

Why not simply
~  net rpc join

and allow the normal mechanisms to work?
