That is correct. Active Directory controls who has what access to what resources on the network (or in the domain, if you will.)

however we have two active directory servers in seperate domains, one ads is for users only, the other is for computers only.

Odd, because every implementation of AD already separates user and computer accounts. Having this handled by two different servers seems like a kludge IMHO.

Testing kerb and joining your linux host to the domain requires you enter in a user that has permissions to join the domain on ADS.

Correct again. In order for a server to offer anything in the domain, that server must have a domain account of its own, created by a domain user with permission to create computer/server accounts or by a domain admin.

But how do I join a computer to a domain where my account does not exist?

You don't. In order for you to join a server to a domain, you must have the appropriate permissions to do so. If your user account does not have permission to add computers to the domain you will not be able to. You will need to get permission to do this, or have a domain admin add the server to the domain for you.
