First, do not use the DC as a fileserver.

Set up a Unix domain member, see here:

https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setting_up_Samba_as_a_Domain_Member

Do not use a guest user, make everybody authenticate.

Use Windows ACLs, see here:

https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setting_up_a_Share_Using_Windows_ACLs

You appear to be the system administrator, you make your users do
things your way, it is the only way to make things secure.
