[Bug 358261] Re: net rpc command potentially dangerous on Windows 2003 Server

It's consistent with how Windows tools work. By design, you can join as
many times as you want, and as long as you give it a Domain Admin
password it will overwrite the existing objects in AD (without any
warning). So I'd say the tools behave like they should.

I understand that the process is error-prone and especially the DC
should not overwrite itself, but that's a server-side issue... not
really something we can or should fix from the client side by
introducing a difference with how Windows' own tools behave.
