Like I said, you should really ask your questions on an MS forum if
you're having problems in a pure Windows environment.

Googling your error this time gives this:

Based on what I've read there your trouble sounds like a DNS or a sysvol
problem. If you copied your sysvol directory from the Samba DC without
taking care of all of the ACLs and attributes (I'm always doing my
manual sysvol copies to or from Windows using robocopy to guard against
losing them), this might be the reason. But this is just a guess; I
can't really help you any further. Read the linked page; that might give
you some ideas.
