Yes, most probably /etc/hosts isn't set up correctly. It should be have
a line like this:

10.0.0.10 fsdc02.test-server.lan fsdc02

And nothing else should point to fsdc02.test-server.lan

However, above it says your dns domain is 'dc01.test-server.lan' and 

'test-server.lan' != 'dc01.test-server.lan'

But now you seem to be saying that 'dc01.test-server.lan' is the FQDN
of your DC.

You seem to have joined the Unix domain member, you just haven't
updated its dns record in AD.

Remove the final 'd' from 'winbindd', the binary is called winbindd,
but the service name is 'winbind'.

Well, it wouldn't work, winbind hasn't started :-)
