[Samba] How to join join Ubuntu desktop to AD

[Data Control Systems - Mike Elkevizth]

Just to confirm that it can be done, I followed the wiki and joined my
Ubuntu 16.04 desktop to a Samba AD using the Ubuntu distro provided
packages.  I'm not sure if it's relevant, but the Samba AD DCs are also
running Ubuntu 16.04 with the distro provided packages.
