I noticed in your original email you are using rfc2307 extensions, but 
there is nothing in your config about winbind.  AFAIK, "smbd" (the samba 
file server) does not talk to the DC (the process named "samba") directly, 
it uses system authentication.  So if getent passwd Administrator does not 
work, you won't be able to log in.  If you're using rfc2307 extensions 
rather than automatic mapping, you will have to give the Administrator 
account a uid (and probably a gid for it's primary group, as well), if you 
haven't already.
