Have you read this:

Yes, can we see your smb.conf files.

It looks like you have given your user a uidNumber attribute, but 
haven't  given 'Domain Users' a gidNumber attribute. What OS is this ? 
'4' isn't an ID for the 'users' group that I have come across. Though 
thinking about it, perhaps the question is, just where have you set that 
'4' ?
