Hi, you posted the OS that Samba4 is running on is Ubuntu 12.04, did you 
install Samba4 via apt-get ? If so, this could be your problem, the 
standard 12.04 package is very old, 'alpha18' I believe. I would suggest 
that you either upgrade by using the Sernet packages: 
http://www.enterprisesamba.com/samba/  or by compiling Samba4 yourself.
