Some further info, which I assume is connected somehow. If I lookup a 
user on the command line with 'id', it only shows as being part of 
"Domain Users" group. But if I look it up through RSAT on Windows, it 
shows the additional groups it is part of. If I try to add it again to 
the groups it is supposed to be part of, using samba-tool, I get the 
following error:

ERROR: Failed to add members ['alan'] to group "ap-shares" - (68, 
'Attribute member already exists for target GUID 
d37dcc81-314c-46d9-885c-1d200879e746')
