I take it from that, you already have it ;-)

ER, no, that would be 'Administrator', is 'jeadmin' a member of
'Administrators', 'Domain Admins' or some other such administration
group ?

Either that or delete the user from AD or /etc/passwd, you cannot have
the same user in both. The user in /etc/password will normally be used
on the Unix OS before the AD user and will be the opposite way around
on Windows.

Try adding this line to smb.conf:

winbind enum users = yes, restart or reload Samba, then run 'getent
passwd', this should return all users, local and domain.

Once you are sure that all domain users are being returned, remove the
line.
