Thanks for the link!
I ran 
# samba-tool domain join AD.EXAMPLE.COM DC -Uadministrator --realm=AD.EXAMPLE.COM
and after removing my old smb.conf file, it created a new one with:

	server role = active directory domain controller

when I read the smb.conf man page tho, it really seems to say that this is
for when the samba server is providing all of the AD services. However, I
have a Windows AD server I want to get authentication information from.

Also, syslog now tells me that I should start the 'samba' daemon, and not
the 'smbd' daemon. I thought the 'samba' daemon was only if I wanted to be
the AD server.

If I need to be a DC in order to join the domain, then what is the "server
role = member server" for?
