There is an Administrator user however. But my machine still can't join the
domain when I use the Administrator user.

The fact that you seeing the error saying that samba cant find an entry for the
root, is that you have to create an smbuser entry for root. The smbuser
database does not synchronise automatically with /etc/passwd or ldap , if I'm
not wrong.Hence, the command #smbpasswd -a root, will create an smbuser entry
for root, and at the same time prompting you for a smbpasswd , which is also
may not be the same as the system password.

Thanks but when I executed the command
#smbpasswd root
It says that it failed to find entry for user root.
I checked my directory using slapcat and there is a user root
dn: uid=root,ou=Users,dc=company,dc=com
objectClass: top
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
objectClass: posixAccount
objectClass: shadowAccount
...
should I delete it and add it again?
