When I attempt to join my WIN7x64 ultimate clients to the samba 4.1 DC,
the join request fails with the error message:

"This operation is only allowed on the primary domain controller of the 
domain."

----------------

Samba is running on a clean install of Slackware 14.1

'net ads lookup' returns:

Thanks in advance everyone.
