It looks like something is already running on port 137.
There should be no Samba deamons running when you try to join the
domain.

once you have joined the domain, you should then start the nmbd, smbd
and winbindd deamons. They should all start, the only way I can think
of another deamon claiming port 137, is that you are also starting the
'samba' daemon, this should only be started on a Samba AD DC.

Stop all running Samba deamons and then try to join again.
