Is your WORKGROUP really the same as your dnsdomain ?

Seemingly not ;-)

So, the command should be:

samba-tool domain join samdom.local DC -U Administrator
--dns-backend=BIND9_DLZ --verbose -d3

Can you post your /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf files

Can you also tell us the ipaddresses of the original DC and the new DC
