I added the system to the domain successfully and now I get the log onto 
domain option.  I used a user I created on the server, is there 
something special to define a domain user?  And yes I logged onto the 
domain, creating a domain user on the system (user.domain).

The logon.bat is executing.  I am getting all the shares from the bat 
file.  I see the netlogon share and can mount it and open the logon.bat 
file.

This is what the developers of the Amahi.org distro have set up.  hda is 
the Netbios name of the server.  Does the case (%u instead of %U) 
matter?  There is a bit to changing this if needed; I have to edit the 
script that builds smb.conf.

Well I just made the change and now it is working.  Now to find out if 
it is %N (how can I find out its value?) or %U.
