If you do a 'net rpc join', it should first try to take up this account (added from the server side) and change the preset password (the machine name) to something random. Or get the admin to put their password into the the 'net rpc join'.

[Samba] joining a domain without having Windows admin privileges
I would like to use security = domain for a samba server, but the only way I've found to do that is to issue the command net rpc join -U admin%password where admin is a Windows user that has the authority to create machine accounts. I don't have that authority, and I don't think I can get it. Is there another way to do this? For instance, if the Windows admins add the machine account for me, can I issue a different command to join the domain? What command? I'm using samba 3.0.11. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
