no - PID files thes edays are typically below /run/servicename/ and keep 
in mind that /var/run is a symlink to /run as well as /run is *tmpfs* so 
you need to make sure it is re-created at boot with the correct permissions

when Type=notify works there is no need for a pid-file at all, but you 
need to make sure the capability is built correctly (see my message before)

i compiled MariaDB 10.2 for F25/F26 with systemd-support and start it 
with "/usr/libexec/mysqld --defaults-file=/etc/my.cnf 
--pid-file=/dev/null" - dunno if samba allows that or insists in create 
a pidfile somewehere, systemd don't need it at all for Type=notify
