OK, I found that the Win10 machines I was using were not '1709', one
was '1511', the other '1607'

Why is windows update so c**p ???
I tried to update the '1511' machine to 1709, but, what ever I tried, it
failed, so I moved to the '1607' machine. this failed to update several
times until, for no reason what so ever, it decided to work.

I can connect using to Ad using adexplorer on the 1709 machine just as
before i.e. I have to specify the DOMAIN with the username.

All I can suggest is, leave the domain on the windows machine, check
that it is a member of the same dns domain as the AD DC and then
re-join the domain. What ever the problem is, it doesn't seem to be a
Samba problem.
