I updated Windows 10 to the latest update, removed the Windows PC from
the domain and putted it again.

Now Active Directory Users and Computers doesn't start.

I'm unable to use Computer Management to perform the steps to set
home directories because it crashes.

I tried to set the homes using File explorer, going to the shared
resources and creating the home directory but I receive that I haven't
permission to create a folder under /home/win_shares/users.

Before I added my account to Unix Admins and Domain Admins. 

I set log level to 10 but I'm unable to see if there is issues
scrolling thousand of lines.

I don't know what fish to catch anymore :-((
