[Samba] Samba Join as DC failed

[Daniel von Obernitz]

Hi Andrew,

I try to join a samba 4.1.4 (Debian Sernet package) as a DC into an 
existing Windows 2008 RC2 AD as well and get a similar error message:

But in my case it seems doesn't seem to be a problem with a user but 
with the host smb1. smb1 is the computer name of my samba server I want 
to join.

Do you have any idea, what is causing this?
Thanks.
Daniel
