Yes, but is winbind running ?

I think it is what isn't there that is the problem

You do not say what you upgraded from, but 7.8 will now mean you have a 
Samba version >= 4.8.0 and from Samba 4.8.0 you need to run winbind if 
you have 'security = ADS' in smb.conf. This also means you need the 
'idmap config' lines as well, which means you cannot have the same users 
in /etc/passwd.
