What version of Samba are you running?
I have 4.1.12 in production at work and have no problems when I edit
GPOs. But sysvolcheck doesn't work for a while
(https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10606)

How did you set the policy? Via GPO doesn't work
(https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/FAQ#Is_it_possible_to_set_user_specific_password_policies_in_Samba4_.28e._g._on_a_OU-base.29.3F).
You can only set it via samba-tool. This settings will work and take
effect. But I haven't checked if I can see the number of days somewhere.
