[Samba] Share inaccessible intermittently and often - restarting smb cures for short time

Additional Information:

This is happening on both a Windows 7 client and a Windows 10 client both of which are joined to the domain.  Seems to be some sort of file locking issue but it is happening at the share level - before I even attempt to access or write a file. 

On a different server running Samba 4.9.2 and a relatively similar setup (same build commands but running on CentOS 7) I do not have this issue.
