[Samba] Trying to add workstation to smb domain and get access denied

[L.P.H. van Belle]

Im wondering why the message is : 
> This could be because an existing computer account having name 'ANY'

Your called Linda not Any ;- 

Its a case like this : 
https://chentiangemalc.wordpress.com/2012/07/27/case-of-the-domain-join-failure/#:~:text=This%20could%20be%20because%20an,remove%20any%20stale%20conflicting%20account. 

I suspect you didnt sysprep your pc's and/or having multiple pc's with the same hostname. 

You can try/verify this if its not a "local" problem in the pc. 
1. Log onto the computer as a user as a local admin or a user with administrative priviledges
2. Open My Computer or Windows Explorer and Navigate to the following directory C:\Windows\System32
3. Locate then right-click the config folder select –> Properties ( the config properties page is displayed)
4. Select the Security tab
5. Click the continue button if it is present, otherwise locate the Administrators group or the user with Admin privileges ..
6. Select the Administrative group or User Account with Admin rights.
7. Under Permissions for Administrators click the Full control check box
8. Click Apply — if a windows security prompt appears, click Yes
9. If several Error Applying Security Access is denied windows appear click continue on all window pop-ups
10. Click OK on the Permissions for Config page — the page will close
11. Click OK on the config Properties page — the page will close

The othere one is, remove (all same name) pc's  from the AD-domain. 
Rename/sysprep them and rejoin. 

After thats done, and its still nog working, then maybe its time to look at samba also.
