Herve, 
Samba4 provides a lot of features though it does have some prerequisites; please review the HowTo, and particularly
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/HOWTO#Step_7:_Configure_DNS noting the first line "A working DNS setup is essential to the
correct operation of Samba."

It's a hard road (if you're not familiar with being a Windows Admin) but well worth the effort.
Regards, Dewayne.
