Hi Matthieu,

I will warm up this story again. 

We are using Windows 2012 R2 Domain Controller with AD level 2008 R2. 

samba-tool domain join STX.CORP  DC -UAdministrator --realm=STX.CORP
Finding a writeable DC for domain 'STX.CORP'
Found DC MAINFRAME.stx.corp
Password for [STX\Administrator]:
workgroup is STX
realm is stx.corp

Anything that I can do for you to analyze the issue?
We are running CentOS 7 with latest Sernet Samba package (Version
4.1.16-SerNet-RedHat-10.el7).

Many thanks,
