It looks as if you are using 'idmap_ldb:use rfc2307 = Yes' in your 
smb.conf? It also looks as if you have given 'Domain Admins' a GID 
number? I have noticed problems in the past if I gave Domain Admins a 
GID. I would remove it.  It also looks as if you may have given 
Administrator a UID? After removing the UID and GID attempt to reset 
your sysvol. What is the output of the following before you do though?

wbinfo --gid-info=10013

wbinfo --gid-info=10014

wbinfo --uid-info=3000000

wbinfo --uid-info=3000008
