Inline without all the commented lines and default settings:

[global]
    workgroup = WORKGROUP
    netbios name = REDACTED
    server string = %h server
    dns proxy = no
    log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
    max log size = 1000
    syslog = 0
    panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
    server role = standalone server
    obey pam restrictions = yes
    unix password sync = yes
    passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
    passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n 
*Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* .
    pam password change = yes
    map to guest = bad user
    usershare allow guests = yes

[homes]
    comment = Home Directories
    browseable = no
    create mask = 0700
    directory mask = 0700
    valid users = %S

[printers]
    comment = All Printers
    browseable = no
    path = /var/spool/samba
    printable = yes
    create mask = 0700

[print$]
    comment = Printer Drivers
    path = /var/lib/samba/printers

[resources]
    comment = Redacted Resources
    username = redacted
    read only = No
    create mask = 0664
    directory mask = 0775
    path = /usr/Redacted

[sicherung]
    comment = Server Sicherung
    username = redacted
    path = /var/Redacted

Only one comment, 'username' was removed at 4.5.0, you should use 'valid 
users' instead.

Can you upgrade Samba in place ?

You may have a problem, but it may already have been fixed in a later 
version

The other option is, if your windows clients are in a domain, upgrade 
the standalone server to a Unix domain member.
