AD DC: ostraaros.vusir.local
File server: vastraaros.vusir.local

To the [global] section on the AD DC I added
host msdfs = yes <- the trick?

Created a share definition block for the DFS:
[files]
        path = /data/files
        comment = "Här finns allt!" <- 'Everything is here!' in Swedish.
        read only = No
        msdfs root = yes

Created links according to
https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/msdfs.html:
admind at ostraaros:~$ ls -l /data/files/
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 Jun 29 13:32 demoshare ->
msdfs:vastraaros.vusir.local\demoshare
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 Jun 27 19:26 familjen ->
msdfs:ostraaros.vusir.local\familjen
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Jun 27 19:26 home -> msdfs:ostraaros.vusir.local\home
