And it Voodoo, you don't do so well LOL, to paraphrase an old song.

I suggest you change the [global] by removing these lines:

         security = ads
         winbind use default domain = Yes
         idmap config * : range = 2000-49999
         idmap config * : backend = tdb
         idmap config XYZ : range = 50000-60000
         idmap config XYZ : backend = rid
         vfs objects = acl_xattr
         map acl inherit = yes
         store dos attributes = yes

Everyone of them should only be used on a Unix domain member.

You need to add these two lines:

        netbios name = <WHATEVER YOUR DCs HOSTNAME IS>
        idmap_ldb:use rfc2307 = yes

Remove these two lines from [share] :

         force create mode = 0660
         force directory mode = 0660

They do not work on a DC

Finally, [homes] does not work on a DC, change it to this:

[home]
	read only = No
	path = /var/lib/samba/home
