I did specify domain out of frustration I think. More test as per your inputs: (net ads join fails)


root at member:~# net ads join domain -Uadministrator
Password for [MAD\administrator]:
Failed to join domain: failed to find DC for domain domain - A domain controller for this domain was not found.
