[Samba] Joining a MS sevrer 2008 R2 machine to a Samba domain

[Aaron E.]

Unfortunately, 2008 servers require AD to function properly with 
licensing. This question has been posed a few times and that was the 
conclusion. It works with S4 but not s3,,

I had a third party seem to get this working on a test server with 
adding extra samba/ldap schemas but have never implemented live as we 
decided to move to S4..
