You need to add ypServ30.ldif, if you compiled Samba4 yourself it is 
usually in /usr/local/samba/share/setup/

copy this file somewhere, then edit it, changing ${DOMAINDN} to your AD 
base i.e. DC=example,DC=com
change ${NETBIOSNAME} to your workgroup name i.e. EXAMPLE
change ${NISDOMAIN} to your realm i.e. example.com

Now add it with something similar to this:

ldbmodify -H /usr/local/samba/private/sam.ldb /root/ypServ30.ldif 
--option="dsdb:schema update allowed"=true

Alter the above to match your setup.

Add to [global] section of smb.conf:

     idmap_ldb:use rfc2307 = yes

Restart samba and you should be good to go.
