[Samba] User cannot access member server share by name, only by IP

[Luke Barone]

So here's what they look like (from the file server):

root at fs1.edge:~# getent group Staff
staff:x:70012:
root at fs1.edge:~# getent group Sta22
sta22:x:102103:

1. Yes, I've run 'net cache flush' a few times. It seems to bounce the user
or group IDs between the two sets of numbers (70_000 range to 100_000 range)
2. Through a script:
samba-tool user create $un $pw \
        --userou="OU=Staff_Users,OU=Users" \
        --must-change-at-next-login \
        --given-name=$fn \
        --surname=$ln \
        --home-directory=\\\\fs1.${domain,,}.EXAMPLE.ca\\Users\\$un \
        --home-drive=H
3. Before today, running `samba-tool group add Staff`. The groups were made
a few years ago.
4. Before, as part of the script, these users were added with `samba-tool
group addmembers Staff $un`. Starting today, when I created Staff2, I added
it with the RSAT tools, and added the members there.
