Does Samba listen on localhost, too (respectively 0.0.0.0)?

Remove the smb.conf and everything below /usr/local/samba/private/
(there are the databases of your AD and other stuff created during the
provisioning).

_BUT_: If you re-provision, you will loose all changes happend since the
provisioning/classicupgrade! E. g. if machines had changed their
passwords, they won't be able to login any more and have to re-joined.
So think twice if you really want to start from scratch. :-)

'Using Samba' is 12 years old! So be carefully. A lot changed since that
time. Expecially with Samba AD.
