I too have this problem. My domain controller is Samba 3.3.4 on CentOS 5.3. I am using Win 7 RTM.
My Win 7 system is an in-place upgrade to Vista. The Vista machine was part of the domain but I detached it prior to the upgrade (been here before ).
Several registry mods are required for Win 7 to connect to Samba and I've done those.
The Win 7 machine can see the Samba DC because if I enter a fictitious domain it immediately complains about failing to find an AD with that name. Entering the correct domain name allows me to enter the admin credentials to join but then it fails.
The Samba logs show the Win 7 machine connecting at some low level (perhaps browsing when it boots) but there are no logs showing activity when I try to join the domain.
It's certainly possible that Win 7 RTM requires a Samba patch - most people on the 'net with similar problems are still using the RC..
