[Samba] Setup a Samba AD DC as an additional DC

Wait, I spoke too soon.  After reviewing the long list of things it did do, but didn't before... I see, "Join failed - cleaning up".

I have not listed the entire list of things it did accomplish but will if needed.  Here is the "end" where it appears to go wrong (I think)...

I'm not sure what DNS Zone it is looking for, but I suspect it must need to look for something different than it is looking for.
