Don't expect something spectacular ;-)
When you successfully add your 64-bit server to your existing domain, 
UNPLUG the network cable before you restart it. Wait until you get logon 
screen, plug the network cable back and login with your domain account.
Has to do something with server wants to talk to PDC when it starts up 
for the first time after it's joined to domain to exchange some security 
info (or something, I don't care :-)
