I've made that change with no change in the results.  I've also started 
'winbind' with no change.

adam at sogo:~$ cat /etc/samba/smb.conf
# Global parameters

     workgroup = SMBDOMAIN
     realm = smbdomain.com
     netbios name = SOGO
     server role = active directory domain controller

     idmap_ldb:use rfc2307 = yes
     passdb backend = samba
     allow dns updates = nonsecure

[netlogon]
     path = /var/lib/samba/sysvol/smbdomain.com/scripts
     read only = No

[sysvol]
     path = /var/lib/samba/sysvol
     read only = No

Other than adding the lines regarding 'openchange,' this has been the 
'smb.conf' since provisioning.

I had not considered this but after copying it to /etc/ it made no 
difference in results.

Yes, 'samba,' 'samba-ad-dc' and 'smbd' are running and 'nmbd' and 
'winbind' are not.
