That's what I notice from reading but there are 10 I was a beginner ;)

At dhcp level I have as configuration

----------

option domain-search code 119 = text;
option wpad code 252 = text;
  option domain-name "dom.masociete";
option domain-search "\003dom\007masociete\000";
option wpad "\n";

-------------

but I do not see how dhcp could impose windows pc to use another domain 
to connect?
When I add a machine to the domain I go through the machine's bone and 
change the "Member of" setting as in this picture:
