I take it that you have been following
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/HOWTO to the letter, using a
copy of the Samba 4.0.0 tarball?

Samba issues are (almost) never the result of the distribution, if you
build from source, and I would never recommend flipping whole
distributions while trying to debug an issue, unless a developer
indicates a specific incomparability.

Can you have me more details on exactly how you adapted the steps in the
HOWTO to your specific install?

What exact commands did you run, and what exactly was the output?

Have you tried running the commands exactly, as a demonstration?

You should use whatever software you best feels suites your
requirements.

I'm really wondering if you have provisioned correctly as a domain
controller.  Have you specified the correct realm (dns domain name) and
netbios name?
