samba - Feb 2003 - How to join a linux machine to a "pure" Active DirectoryDomain using Samba 3.0alpha21?

net ads join will add your samba box to the windows 2000 domain, and the domain
does not have to support mixed mode. You will need to have kerberos setup and
tested on your system (linux). Do you already have this done?

No, I haven't yet setup kerberos.

Will "net ads join" prompt me for the AD to join, or does it somehow
automagically figure out which AD to join?

This is from Microsoft's web site:
http://microsoft.com/windowsxp/home/evaluation/overviews/xpindomain.asp

"Both Windows XP Home Edition and Windows XP Professional allow you to
connect to resources in a domain, either on the local network, or via
a Remote Access Services (RAS) or virtual private network (VPN)
connection. But Windows XP Professional is the only version of Windows
XP that allows users to join and be managed by the domain (e.g., by
logon scripts or group policies)."

So it would appear that Kurt was correct
