[Samba] RPC Server Unavailable Message

[Asai]

I don't know the difference between ntvfs and s3fs.  Which one should I 
use for folder redirection?

localhost isn't the name of the ad dc, at least that's not what I 
intended.  How do I change it without reprovisioning?  Can you provide a 
link to some documentation?

Thank you.
