[Samba] smb.conf realm parameter

[James Atwell]

You are correct. I feel silly. :-[

It has always bugged me that one of my DC's I provisioned has it's realm 
in lowercase while all others are in uppercase. This is since the 4.0 
days as all my DC's are in place upgrades. I have read on the list a few 
times about it's need to be in CAPS as well.

I also notice when comparing databases on DC's the difference is usually 
'cn' vs 'CN'.
