If you are joining  to an existing domain, then you cannot be setting up 
a new domain ;-)

Shouldn't be a problem.

I personally would do it in stages, set up the Rpi, add Louis's repo and 
then join the AD domain.

Install Bind9 and upgrade to bind9_dlz, finally install and configure dhcp.

There is a lot of difference between Raspbian and Ubuntu, Raspbian uses 
dhcpcd and Ubuntu uses netplan for instance.

If I was doing this (I use my Rpi4 as a Unix domain member), I would 
remove dhcpcd and then set a fixed ip the old-school way with 
/etc/network/interfaces.

Can you point to examples of 'out-of-dateness' ??

If there are any, I will update them.

Bit of a niche market (yes, I know just how many of them there are) and 
the wiki is meant as general info on Samba and not committed to any 
particular distro.

If you get stuck or are unsure, just ask ;-)
