I suspected the dcerpc stuff was making an RPC call before Samba could 
respond to the Windows RPC, but I didn't think of it until you mentioned 
it.  The line is as Inverse suggests, but I'll try your suggestion instead.

Thanks, again.  I'll be following the Samba list for awhile but 
hopefully I'm ready to move forward.

I'll be using the Microsoft snap-in for AD management, but I've already 
used some of the Samba tools, and I've already run things like 
'samba-tool testparm' but not with the '-v' parameter.  That's amazing!

I'm really impressed with the response and competence of the help I've 
received.
