Sorry to be late in replying to this, got a bit swamped.

If you are having problems with a single Samba AD DC in a multiple DC
domain i.e. the problem occurs only on one DC and the others have no
problems. Then it doesn't matter what Samba is running on, the easiest
fix is to fully demote the faulty DC and create a new one, you may be
able to fix the existing DC, but it will undoubtedly take longer.
