Hi Greg, Thanks for your response :)
Yes, I'm logged onto workstation as local administrator and when the system asked username and password, I put root username and root password. I've also added root account into samba password database using smbpasswd -a root I don't have any idea about this problem, because I'm sure enough that all steps I made is correct and it has been my problem since 3 month ago. And now I'm really give up and little stress. Perhaps anybody could give me advise.

You are logged onto the workstation as local administrator (or a local account with admin privileges) correct? Then you try to join the domain and when it asks you for the username & password you use root and the root password yes? Have you added the root user in your samba password database with smbpasswd? This usually works pretty easily and I don't understand why you would get that error.
