OK, I give in, where did the 'netlogon' & 'sysvol' shares go ?

You appear to be trying to use a Samba AD DC as a standard Samba server, 
What OS is this on ?

I would start by upgrading everything, 4.3.11 is very old and is EOL

I would also add a Unix domain member, a Samba AD DC used as a 
fileserver works very differently from a Unix domain member.
