Problem with that method is, the user would have to get a failure first 
and then find out how to fix it, how about something along these lines:

Replace:

             if ctx.dns_backend != "NONE":
                 ctx.join_add_dns_records()
                 ctx.join_replicate_new_dns_records()

With something like this:

             if ctx.dns_backend != "NONE":
                 try:
                     ctx.join_add_dns_records()
                     ctx.join_replicate_new_dns_records()
                 except:
                     print("Cannot add Computers dns records, you will have"
                           " to do this manually.")
                     pass
