RHEL 6 probably means sssd, if this is the case, please contact the 
sssd-users list.

Does 'rkumar03' have the required permissions to join a machine to the 
domain ?

For some reason, your DC cannot be found.

Do not set the password server, allow Samba to find the best one to
use.

Hmm, that probably does mean sssd, if not, your smb.conf is badly 
configured.

If you are not using sssd, then post the output of:

/etc/hostname

/etc/hosts

/etc/resolv.conf

/etc/krb5.conf

Also, why are you using 6.8 ?

The last RHEL 6 version was 6.10 and this is only in maintenance support 
and, as you are asking here, I take it you do not have this. I suggest 
you upgrade.
