* Where did you do the adjustments? On your DNS/DC? Or on the Windows
clients?

* What kind of adjustments?

* Can the Windows clients resolve DNS requests?

If you use the internal DNS, then yes.
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_Internal_DNS#Configuration

But I see no 'dns' entry in your 'server services' line. This indicates,
that Samba uses BIND_DLZ and not the internal DNS.

What DNS backend have you setup?
