This tells you that the scripts should check if they should try to
start or stop the relevant deamons.

This shows what deamon to try and start/stop, it looks like the
'samba-ad-dc' is where the problem lies.

I use Devuan and there is this in my 'samba-ad-dc' script on a domain
member:

SERVER_ROLE=`samba-tool testparm --parameter-name="server role"  2>/dev/null | tail -1`
if [ "$SERVER_ROLE" != "active directory domain controller" ]; then
    exit 0
fi

There is a similar one in the 'nmbd' and 'smbd' scripts, but this one
exits if it is a DC.

Do you have something like the above in your samba-ad-dc script ?
