Two things to start with, remove 'security = USER' from the DC's
smb.conf (you might also want to reconsider some of the other lines you
added) and I take it that:
The administrator user has a UID (10372)
means you have given Administrator a uidNumber attribute containing
'10372', if so, remove it. On a Samba DC, Administrator is mapped to the
ID '0'. You use root on Unix and Administrator on Windows. Then when
Administrator (on Windows) tries to do something on Unix, it does it as
root.
