Try changing the above line to:

192.168.15.2 server.example.com server

Try stopping Samba:

systemctl stop samba-ad-dc

Then run 'ps ax' and search the output for any Samba lines and if you
find any, use 'kill' to remove them e.g. if I run it on a DC, I get
this amongst the output:

11252 ?        Ss     0:01 /usr/local/samba/sbin/winbindd -D --option=server role check:inhibit=yes --foreground
11253 ?        S      0:02 /usr/local/samba/sbin/samba -D
11256 ?        S      0:00 /usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd -D --option=server role check:inhibit=yes --foreground
11257 ?        S      0:00 /usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd -D --option=server role check:inhibit=yes --foreground
11259 ?        S      0:02 /usr/local/samba/sbin/winbindd -D --option=server role check:inhibit=yes --foreground
11262 ?        S      0:00 /usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd -D --option=server role check:inhibit=yes --foreground
11264 ?        S      0:00 /usr/local/samba/sbin/winbindd -D --option=server role check:inhibit=yes --foreground
11268 ?        S      0:00 /usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd -D --option=server role check:inhibit=yes --foreground
11270 ?        S      0:00 /usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd -D --option=server role check:inhibit=yes --foreground
18783 ?        S      0:00 /usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd -D --option=server role check:inhibit=yes --foreground
18785 ?        S      0:00 /usr/local/samba/sbin/samba -D

So I would run 'kill -9 11252'. I would remove this one first because
of the 'Ss', this should also remove any children of this process.
