Bingo!

I commented out the OpenChange portions of 'smb.conf'

### Configuration required by OpenChange server ###
     #dcerpc endpoint servers = epmapper, mapiproxy, dnsserver
     #dcerpc_mapiproxy:server = true
     #dcerpc_mapiproxy:interfaces = exchange_emsmdb, exchange_nsp, 
exchange_ds_rfr
     ### Configuration required by OpenChange server ###

     #mapistore:namedproperties = mysql
     #namedproperties:mysql_user = openchange-user
     #namedproperties:mysql_pass = passwd
     #namedproperties:mysql_host = localhost
     #namedproperties:mysql_db = openchange
     #mapistore:indexing_backend = 
mysql://openchange-user:passwd@localhost/openchange
     #mapiproxy:openchangedb = 
mysql://openchange-user:passwd@localhost/openchange

And, I temporarily stopped the 'sogo' & 'memcache' services, and one of 
my machines joined the domain.

Thanks!  I appreciate your help and will move on from here.  I've 
learned a lot.
