[Samba] Windows cannot access \\server check the spelling of the name 0x800704cf

Hai Rich, 

Your output of ipconfig /all

Where are these? 
Primary Dns Suffix  . . . . . . . :
DNS Suffix Search List. . . . . . :

This one is below in the output.  
Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . : 

Verify above again, if these 3 are all there and set to webb.local
Then try this : in you network settings, disable ipv6 
Beside ipv6 and the 2 missing outputs, i see the same here on my pc. 

DNS server 192.168.5.160 is one of your DC's ? 
And if you have more DC's, add the other also in the dhcp config. 

And Is dhcp option 015 DNS Domain Name set? 

Greetz, 

Louis
