I do hope your computers FQDN isn't localhost.samba.com, if it is, then
you really need to start again, but this time with a short hostname
that isn't 'localhost'

You do not need the above two lines, they are the defaults.

'guset' should be 'guest'

You need to add 'map to guest = bad user' to [global] and then connect
with users that are unknown to AD, which is going to be virtually
impossible from domain joined clients.
