When I said 'What OS', I meant the OS that you are running the AD DC
on, not the clients.

If your DC is really called 'PDC' then can I point out it isn't a PDC,
that is something else entirely.

If you are going to sanitise a smb.conf, then I suggest you sanitise
everything.

Is your dns domain really just 'ktkbankltd.com' ? 
If it is, is that dns domain reachable from the internet ?

Is there any pattern to the non mapped SIDs ?

Can I also point out that you appear to have 'workgroup' twice.
