Hi, lets get this straight, you are running samba 4.0.5 as an AD server 
and cannot browse to any shares on the server via a gui on the clients, 
is this correct?

If it is, your problem is the lack of NetBIOS browsing support (network 
neighbourhood) in the Samba 4 AD DC.You can connect to the shares via 
smbclient etc or from 'File' , 'Connect to Server' in Nautilus, you just 
cannot browse to the shares.
