[Samba] Errors for shares since 4.12.0

[Andreas Hauffe]

We reported this bug to the expensive commercial software enterprises 
:-). I know, it is not a samba problem.

I think your workaround is not possible in our case, since we are/all 
clients live in the SUBDOM and most users are from DOM. So we would need 
to set the default domain to a different domain, which is not possible 
as far as I know.

Regards,
Andreas
