By the way, you can add winbind to the nsswitch.conf file in order to chgrp 
command work.

[root at sambapdc01 ~]# nano /etc/nsswitch.conf
...
...
passwd:     files winbind
shadow:     files
group:      files winbind
...


Just restart the system and chgrp "Domain Users" /srv/samba/profiles should 
work like a charm!
