Thanks John that was it.
To join the domain
Create the computer in the Win2K Computer and User Admin app.
Then in VMS $ mc samba_root:[bin]smbpasswd -r My-PDC -j My-Domain "-U" Username -s
It prompts you for a password on the account used... Bingo
If anything I would have guessed VMS put everything in UPPER case unless quoted. Thanks again.

Actually, it does! But then the C RTL lowercases everything again, because about 80-90% of the switches on imported Unix C programs are lower case.
Apparently, the quotes get preserved when DCL upcases the command line, since they are still there when C reads it and downcases it again.
$ set process/parse_style affects this in mysterious ways, but probably doesn't do what you want to avoid quotes, according to a quick look at HELP SET PROCESS/PARSE
Oh, and any list of hints and helps that are specifically VMS-related would really be appreciated. There is a VMS Samba FAQ, but it is very old and mostly relates to Samba v1.x John Santos
