It is a darn sight more helpful than the info you provided to try and
get your problem fixed, but lets try going a bit deeper into the wiki,
see here:

https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setting_up_Samba_as_an_Active_Directory_Domain_Controller
and
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setup_Samba_as_an_AD_Domain_Member

They should supply you with enough info to fix your problem.
