I wonder if systemd doesn't like the DNS update failing??

you could try adding 'allow dns updates = nonsecure' to the smb.conf on 
the DC.

It should work, Louis uses debian jessie and he doesn't have problems, I 
definitely don't have problems, but then again, I use devuan jessie on 
my DCs.

Could you post the smb.conf from the DC?
