[Samba] Cannot authenticate the administrator account

[Mike]

Thanks, Rowland.
I'll give it some thought.
At this point, I may even go back to slackware or gentoo.
It is a bit much learning all the new system tools (systemd, systemctl,
firewalld, NetworkManager, etc.) while moving from a samba standalone
configuration to AD/DC, DNS, Kerberos, all for the first time.

I'm also considering calling Pantek.com - - - I've had some very good
experiences with them in the past.

At any rate,  thanks for your time today.

Best regards,

Mike
