Good, it's better to clear out any doubt.

No, it's not:

And no, my domain is not .local but each log I post was automatically
cleaned up in a case-sensitive way ;)
MYDOMAIN --> SAMDOM
mydomain --> samdom
.EXT --> .LOCAL
...
Another thing that comes to my mind is that the 2008R2 domain was
upgraded from an initial Win2000.
Win2000-->Samba direct migration is not possible because Samba requires
at least a Win2003 domain.
So the complete upgrade was Win2000 (SRVAD-OLDOLD) --> Win2008R2
(SRVAD-OLD) --> Domain/forest functional level upgrade --> Samba 4.7.4
migration.
Could there be something wrong/unexpected in current Win2008R2 domain
config?
It seems not to me because Windows client machines work ok and the
domain seems to function properly.

That's good
