samba - May 2019 - Possibly WERR_DS_DRA_ACCESS_DENIED or NT_STATUS_CANT_ACCESS_DOMAIN_INFO

All, but once, I've used it as second DC in conjunction with a Windows AD
server, joining it to an existing domain.  Granted, this is the first time
I've used it with a 2008R2 AD domain and forest level.

Before I spent anyone else's time on this, I wiped it completely (down to
new disk labels) and still run into this error.

It is good to know that it should be working.  If anyone comes upon a
solution, please post it to the list.  If/when I find one, I will too.

Thank you for all of your help.

You cannot have wiped enough, I would suggest a complete re-install,
but with a different OS.

Ah.  I missed the last part.  Definitely didn't wipe hard enough.  Without
Windex, I just can't get the spots off the platters. ;)

Thanks again Rowland (and Luis) for your help with this.
