And how am I supposed to address the DC then?
For all my attempts, I've had to conclude that member servers can't be
configured to manage shares with native ACL's. No matter what I do, I always
get "access denied" on a member server when trying to setup share permissions
on a member server using Windows tools.
So far, the only solution was to move ACL-sensitive services to the DC.
But this is really not a solution. Only a workaround.
