[Samba] Join W2008 R2 64bit to samba 3.5.8

[Gaiseric Vandal]

Windows Active Directory users SRV DNS records to locate Active 
Directory servers (.e.g _ldap.mydomain.com -> mypdc.domain.com)  Since a 
Samba domain controller is (sort of) an NT4 server these won't be 
relevant for Windows clients.

Are you using a WINS server?  Are your samba server and Windows clients 
all using the same WINS server? That should help Windows clients find an 
"NT4" type domain.


FYI

For Win 7 and samba 3.4 (or later) the 3rd and 4th registry changes were 
required.  The 1st two don't look familiar.
