On my member server, running 'ntpq -p' yields: 

ntpq -p
localhost: timed out, nothing received
***Request timed out 

The ntp.conf file is trying to use the DC's hostnames addresses: 

user at DC01:~# cat /etc/ntp.conf
# /etc/ntp.conf, configuration for ntpd; see ntp.conf(5) for help

driftfile /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift

# Enable this if you want statistics to be logged.
#statsdir /var/log/ntpstats/

filegen loopstats file loopstats type day enable
filegen peerstats file peerstats type day enable
filegen clockstats file clockstats type day enable

#broadcastclient 

And here is the ntp.conf file from my member server: 

user at member:~# cat /etc/ntp.conf
# Local clock (this is not the localhost address!)
server 127.127.1.0
fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10

# The source, where we are receiving the time from (PDC)
server dtdc02.dts***m.lan. iburst prefer
server dtdc01.dts***m.lan. iburst prefer

driftfile /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift
logfile /var/log/ntp

# Access control
# Default restriction
restrict default ignore

# Allow everything from localhost
restrict 127.0.0.1

# Allow that our time source can only provide time and do nothing else
restrict dtdc02.dts***m.lan. mask 255.255.255.255 nomodify notrap nopeer
noquery
restrict dtdc01.dts***m.lan. mask 255.255.255.255 nomodify notrap nopeer
noquery 

Should not the end of the DC's ntp.conf file (where it is suggesting a
'Samba4' setting) be set to the local lan addresses access? I tried
setting it so and got the same result on the member server after
restarting ntp time on the DC's? So, I figured I must be wrong? Member
needs to keep time with the DC's, right?
