I use containers (systemd-nspawn) for this, - exactly because
people suggest not to use DC as a file server.  Systemd-nspawn
works fine, including spawning just the samba service in a new
namespace (not requiring to install whole separate OS).

But the thing is: it is the Samba DC who registers domain-wide
*file* services in DNS. The ones I mentioned already, \\domain.tld\ -
which are essential for the domain functionality as far as I can see.
If it doesn't work, maybe samba should not do that?
