In my environment, Windows 8 Pro 32bit with registry patched can join Samba
3.6.6 domain.

Here is my smb.conf:

-----
[global]
  workgroup = SAMBA366
  domain logons = yes
  passdb backend = tdbsam

  add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -s /bin/false %u
  max protocol = smb2
  min protocol = smb2

  log level = 3

 [homes]
   writeable = yes
   browseable = no

> (AD DC) for domain "<blah>":

This seems that DNSNameResolutionRequired value is not applied...
