[Samba] Samba Join as DC failed

[Daniel von Obernitz]

Hi Andrew,

since I got rid of the dns-problem (had a configuration error) I now got 
some more info about the join problem caused by the "isRecycled"-Flag:

I set up a complete new domain (Win Server 2008 R2), added just one more 
user and then joined the samba-server (Sernet-Package and from the 
sources) without problems. Replication also worked, tested with adding a 
second user.

Then I activated the AD-internal recycle bin and tried the join again. 
The sernet package failed, the sources including your patch worked, also 
with replication.

The failing object is the samba-server itself, either samba doesn't 
understand this flag correctly or windows can't set it right on the 
object when joining.

Hope this helps a bit.

Best regards
Daniel
