I take it that you already had an smb.conf prior to joining the domain 
as a DC, in which case, I think that you may have found a bug. If you 
try to provision a new domain and there is already a smb.conf, the 
provision errors out, I would have thought that the same would happen 
when you try to join a DC, as part of the join is writing the smb.conf.
