You need to "join" the NT domain first, as the error sorta spells out.

Here's a document that tells how to do it with Samba v2.2,
http://us1.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/htmldocs/DOMAIN_MEMBER.html

If you're using an earlier version, check the documents that
shipped/installed with it. I can't find "older" docs at Samba's website.

Good luck
