I'm in a very similar situation, trying to get a SerNet Samba 4.0.8 on 
CentOS 6.4 to join a working Win2k3 AD domain, and am now stuck at the 
same error message.  I see there were no replies on-list to your 
question.  Did you get it sorted out in the end?  If so, what helped?

Thanks,
Kev

Is 192.168.1.252 is the already existing DNS on your W2k3 Server or is 
it the IP of your Samba DC? It should be the IP of your existing DNS 
server, because Samba isn't up at that time.

You can also add the record through the MS DNS Console on windows.
