A little update, the first two errors in original post I found I could ignore. It seems they are 
common even on pure MS installations. The KB article referred in the error is completely irrelevant.

The last two errors I got rid of by putting the DN of my domain in THe msSD_reference-Domain 
attribure in the CN=(UID-number),CN=Partitions,CN=Configuration,DC=ad,DC=domain,dc=com, rgen 
rplication partitions froom the samba server to the windows server. It seems the samba4 does not set 
these attributes but I'm not sure if this is important enough to be a bug.

I'm still getting "unexpected number of reps-to neighbours returned from (samba4 server)"

Testing continues.
