Hi Rowland,

Order does not seem to be important. I have tried to start the daemons 
manually in different order. Does not help.

As the self compiled AD DC works beautifully, I'll wipe the installation 
and compile Samba myself from the 4.9.1 sources. Being lazy and 
installing what's thrown at you evidently didn't pay off in this case.

Thanks for your help anyway.

I wish you a nice day,

Peter
